Having a URL in the Extension Manager that redirects to Firefox's Add-On Store

[Cr8zy_Ivan]

I very often want to go see the additional information that is written in the Add-On Store. When in Firefox's Extension Manager, there is no direct way to go to the Add-On Store. It becomes increasingly tedious to open a separate Tab, Search for my "Firefox Add-On Store" Bookmark, then to Search for the Add-On, and sometimes the Add-On you're looking for isn't the first Result that pops up.

I would like to see a section in the Details Tab, something like: "Add-On Store: " with a URL that redirects to the Extension's Add-On Store Page.

Thanks.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Hello @Cr8zy_Ivan - there is a direct link to the extension listing in the Details section, at the very bottom; the "More about this add-on" link takes you the the listing page for the extension.

Thanks -- Ed

Thank you @ESullivan , however, I'm not getting that.

[ESullivan]

Apologies @Cr8zy_Ivan I incorrectly assumed you were referring to the Android version of the browser.

What version of Firefox are you using?  In my view of your screenshot, the Author's name is linked up and you can get to the listing page that way, but I don't see you as having that same link enabled in your screenshot.

Let me try to gather more info.

Thanks -- Ed

@ESullivan, yep, I've seen this also, but this all depends on what the developers have decided to show, in term of information. I'd say half of authors actually include this information, and for the ones who do, this link brings you to the Add-On Author Page, not the Extension itself. You still have to sift through the author's Extensions (assuming they've built more than one).

This is just a very long and unnecessary process.

Extension web pages from about:addons

Hi 🙂

I don't find how to go to the web page of an extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/*) from about:addons. I need to copy the extension name then search it.

Am I missing sth, or should I submit an idea for that ?

[ESullivan]

Hey @Thomas_DC - probably best to throw your support behind this similar idea.

Thank you -- Ed Sullivan

Thank you 🙂

Do you know why I hadn't notification for your reply ? I don't see anything wrong in my Notification Settings.

[ESullivan]

My pleasure!

Sorry, I am not certain why you didn't receive a notification. I assume you have previously? I hate suggesting to people to check their junk filter, but... 🙂

Tagging in @Jon in hopes of some real assistance!

[Thomas_DC]

No, it is not in junk box.

About junk filter: Is it possible to check if your server has sent it ? If my provider rejected the msg, I would like to know that !

BTW, I had the notification for your 2nd reply.
