Catching up with a ton of questions. Sorry for taking so long, but I’ve been traveling.
Development hasn’t finished. The email is now there and Developer’s Comments should be back eventually.
If it involves the new site, it’s likely to belong there. It can be hard to tell what’s a strictly a back-end issue. We can move (or rather copy) issues to the right repo if they don’t belong where they were filed.
It should fit with the design of the upcoming Firefox 57.
There might be some performance implications for this, and I believe most users favor pagination because it’s easier to navigate. It’s unfortunate that AMO doesn’t work well with content scripts, but we hope that will be fixed in Firefox in the future.
Tags will be back. They’re not a high priority at the moment, though.
Yes, it’s the default icon is none is specified.
Recently Updated is a sort option in search.
You’re not blind. Permissions should be back in a week or two. We didn’t give it higher priority because Firefox shows them in the install confirmation.
That should be coming back soon, for all add-on listing pages.
AMO support is limited to supported versions of Firefox. The oldest supported version of Firefox is 52 ESR. The new site uses a new layout technology called CSS Grid, which is not supported in older browsers.
We tried a switch install UI that did precisely this, but it was harder to spot compared to the Add to Firefox button. We will revisit this UI soon to see what we can do in between.
Yes, that’s in the plans, but probably for next year.
Can you elaborate?
This surprises you? If you’re not a very technical person, the opinions of others are very important. Also, a good summary (at the top) makes the description generally redundant. An add-on that requires lots of additional explanation probably won’t work very well for a wide audience.
