679867 - Tools -> Add-ons should show list of addons you have, as it did before 5.0

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[John David Galt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

I use both Firefox and Thunderbird.  In both products, up to versions 4.x, the menu item Tools -> Add-ons used to show me a small window which listed all the add-ons I currently had installed, and whether each is enabled or disabled.  This information is indispensable to intelligently manage one's system.


Actual results:

Now the same menu selection goes to the useless "Add-ons Manager" page, which touts the latest add-ons that Mozilla's management wants people to use, and there is no longer any findable way for me to see which add-ons are currently installed.


Expected results:

It needs to go back to working the old way.

Tools > Add-Ons and click the "Extensions" tab on the left if you want those.  Or the "Plugins" tab if you want those.

In any case, not a core issue.

Does this solve your problem? If not can you provide more details of what you're seeing? Screenshots would be useful
