User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 Build ID: 20131112160018 Steps to reproduce: Goto about:addons and select appearance section Actual results: The individual entries only list name and the author but no hyper links to addons.mozilla.org (AMO). Expected results: Hyperlink to author and to theme's page on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) and link to reviews section on AMO theme page so it is consistent with "extensions" section. On extensions section I have to use the reviews links to navigate to extensions AMO page as there is not direct link to AMO page. Example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/reviews/?src=api. It would also make sense that "themes" and "extensions" have direct links to AMO pages. Justification: Trying to find AMO page is difficult for example, theme name in about:addons is "vivid_sidney_13_08". I tried search AMO for "vivid sidney 13 08" or "vivid_sidney_13_08" - It DOES NOT find theme on first attempt. This link is https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/vivid_sidney_13_08/. (Note once you view that page the same search find the result) Here are the usage cases for having a link: you want to share a theme with someone, add it to your personal collection, give person hyperlink or you want to find it to rate it. All are too difficult to do with out a link. It is also inconsistent with "extensions" section.
