Since we are not allowing addons in v1, we should disable the ability to access about:addons, as the current about:addons looks very functional and gives no indication that metro addons are not supported.

as discussed on irc with mfinkle & yuan, the plan is now to override extensions.xul to display a custom page with a cute image and short, localizable message indicated that addons are not currently supported.

my thinkpad is rendering large black bars for snapped view still, so I can't actually test the snapped part of that patch yet. Builds are running and it'll be a race to verify

thanks Rodrigo!

wish bugzilla had a good way to preview the text of the patch so you could doublecheck that the file contains the right version.

Please see the attached screenshot. This is how it looks for me the about:addons page, on a Win 8 64bit machine, using the latest Nightly, build ID: 20130819030205, tested for iteration #12. Is this the expected?
Flags: needinfo?
Yes, this is the expected content.
Flags: needinfo?
Thanks! :) Marking this VERIFIED, based on comment 13 and comment 14.

Went through the following "Change" for iteration #16 and found some issues. Used the following build: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-10-23-03-02-05-mozilla-central/ - Went through the suggestions throughout the thread and ensured everything described was implemented and working - Went to "about:addons" and ensured that the correct image appeared - Ensured that "Nightly Start Page" redirects the user to the awesome screen without any issues - Viewed "about:addons" in full, filled and snap view and ensured that the image is displayed correctly - Went through the above test cases in both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Issues: Ran into a small issue when going through the change in Windows 8.1. When you view the page in the different views, the text will but cut off at times. In Windows 8, it auto corrects and appears correctly but in 8.1 it stays cut off. Created Bug 930367
