Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

Wanted to try the new Add-On manager after updating to ver. 6.0.2, clicked Tools, then clicked Add-Ons.


Actual results:

Endless "Loading" message, can't access Add-Ons. 


Expected results:

(I presume) Add-On manager should have opened and displayed installed and available Add-Ons.

Does the problem go away if you click another category (Extensions, Plugins), then back?

Probably a dupe of Bug 679604.

Yes, it does go away when I click another item in the left-side menu in the add-ons section - sorry, didn't think of that. And after that, when I close add-ons section and restart it, I no longer get the endless "loading" message - it pulls up the "Thunderbird Collection" of add-ons, but does several clunky screen redraws before it settles down. Thanks, at least it's functional now.
