729414 - Let accounts set their own default search filter preferences

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Search, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

As a user of Nightly, when I search on AMO for an extension, the search filter defaults to "Firefox 13" in the "Works with" section. And there are rarely any extensions available for whatever version is currently in Nightly. 

So every time I want to find an extension on AMO, I have to click "Works with" to expand the options, then choose "Any Firefox". The next time I come to AMO to search for something, that filter is reset to "Firefox 13".

It would be nice to be able to set "Any Firefox" as the default for my AMO account, either by just remembering the search filter's current setting, or having an option in my account settings page.

We should just remember the setting

STR:

1. Search for adblock on addons-dev.allizom.org
2. Change 'Works with' to 'Any Firefox' (https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=adblock&platform=mac&appver=)
3. Search for twitter
4. Notice the 'Works with' section

expected behavior:
Any Firefox is selected

actual behavior:
it reverts to having Firefox 27 selected.

Using steps from comment 3, I see that my selection of 'Any Firefox' is not saved

@krupa: Reproducing steps from comment 3 on addons-dev.allizom.org get me the expected result: "Any Firefox" is selected.
Can you double check?

Comment 8

[Vincent Agnano [:vinyll]]

We all conclude that the bug still happens (notice the step 3):

1. Search for adblock on addons-dev.allizom.org
2. Change 'Works with' to 'Any Firefox' (https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=adblock&platform=mac&appver=)
3. Go to homepage
4. Search for twitter
5. Notice the 'Works with' section

expected behavior:
Any Firefox is selected

actual behavior:
it reverts to having Firefox 27 selected.
