636708 - [Collector] Insert links after installation of an add-on

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

FF4 only.

After installing an item, should we insert the relevant links like in the extensions listings. It should mimic what is in the Extensions and Themes panel, i.e. Restart and for restartless -- Undo. There may be others.

An alternative is to switch to the Extensions or Themes panel, but this would be a lot of back and forth if they want to install more than one.

We got this for free as part of bug 636709.

One issue:
After install, if you Undo, the links remain (and the message to restart if not a restartless add-on). I think what we need to do is listen for undo, and reload that item in the list or re-hide the XUL container for those links.

Fixed, r84828.

When an install Undo or download cancel happens on a collection addon item, the add-on list for that collection is refreshed to remove unnecessary UI and make Publish and Install buttons appear again. It was not trivial to just refresh the item, but I think this is an acceptable solution.
