Open issues/risks

  • Determine where to retrieve latest plugin info from. Possibilities:
    • PFS2
    • New API provided by PluginCheck
    • PFS1

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Integrate Plugin Check with installed plugins in the Add-ons Manager.

2. Users & use cases

  • Plugin A is out of date. Vendor provides a link to an updated installer. Can download installer directly from Addons Manager.
  • Plugin B is out of date. Vendor provides a link to a page that contains information on how to update. Can get to that page from the Addons Manager.
  • Plugin C is out of date. SUMO has a support article on how to update it. Can get to that page from the Addons Manager.
  • Plugin X is up to date. User sees this and is overcome with joy.

3. Dependencies

4. Requirements

`

Non-goals

  • Installing and updating of all plugins via XPI hosted on AMO (long-term plan?).

Quality Assurance review

Most (if not all) of this should be able to be automated with browser-mochitest tests and a fake PFS/PFS2 server.
