Steps to reproduce:
- Install any addon.
- Right click on installed addon.
Actual result:
A generic HTML context menu will open. [...] menu does not have "Find Updates", either.
Expected result:
"Find Updates" should be available (although it does not have to be in the context menu).

If automatic updates are disabled globally or for the add-on you can check for updates from the details page for a specific add-on. You can also check for updates from "tools" menu underneath the search bar.

XUL about:addons
allowed me to check updates for a specific addon even if automatic update is enabled. (Sometimes I do not want to wait until the next automatic check.) "tools" menu will check updates for all addons (not a specific one.)

This was intentionally left out and I'm not sure I see a compelling reason to include it. Checking for all updates could update other add-ons, but if you have automatic updates enabled that should be expected.
I'm going to close this as invalid since this was a conscious choice. If you still think it's worth including I'd suggest adding your reasoning and putting a needinfo to :amyt.
