Details

STR: 1. Open two sync'd browsers (with addon sync enabled) 2. Open about:addons for browser #1 3. Install a new addon in browser #2 4. Use "Tools > Sync Now" in both browsers to force addon sync 5. Watch the about:addons list in browser #1 RESULT: The new addon entry will appear at the top of the list, not in alphabetical order. When you reload about:addons list, it is sorted correctly. If this is a purposeful design choice to highlight newly sync'd addons, perhaps these addon entries should have a special icon or highlight (like addon entries that warn about needing a restart).
