1545409 - [about:addons] Details view does not revert to list view upon removing an add-on

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1544824

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Rob Wu [:robwu]]

In the XUL-based about:addons page, when an extension is uninstalled, the details view switched to the add-on list.

In the HTML-based about:addons page, the details view is still there, unless the removal was initiated from the about:addons page itself.

I see that there is a "remove" handler at DetailView.prototype.render, and a "remove" event dispatch at AddonList.prototype.removeAddon, but they are never connected because the event targets differ.

STR:

1. Visit about:config and set extensions.htmlaboutaddons.enabled to true
2. Install any add-on from AMO.
3. Visit about:addons and click on "Extensions".
4. Click on the triple dots on the add-on item that you just installed, and click on "More Options".
5. Remove the add-on, e.g. via the "Remove" button on AMO or via the "Remove Extension" context menu item on the add-on button (if the extension has a browserAction)
6. Look at the about:addons tab from step 3.

Expected:

• The extension list should be displayed.

Actual:

• The details of the removed extension are still being displayed.
