Add-ons Manager Dialog Returns is a Firefox restatless extension that enables Firefox to use a separate dialog window for the Add-ons Manager.
It also offers a few non-intrusive improvements:
- Keyboard shortcuts for easier navigation.
- Can collapse Add-ons Manager tab names (see screenshot).
- Can set AMO homepage as default web site to Get Add-ons (see dialog menu).
- Focussing on the addon search field reveals the Search Tab unless it's not empty.
- Can use a Restrained Visual Style for the dialog (see dialog menu).
Keyboard shortcut reference:
Esc, Ctrl-W: close dialog
Ctrl-B: switch back to the most recent browser window
Ctrl-Alt-R: restart Firefox
F, / or Ctrl-F: focus on search field (also reveals Search tab if it contains any results)
