[Aris-t2]

Devs changed add-on manager code again. This starts to get boring. Don't they have anything better to do? ;-)

[Acid-Crash]

True((
Unfortunatelly this addont is one of the mustHave's at least for me))

[Pizzapops]

Change for the sake of change and job security! My addons manager columns have been neutered.

[Aris-t2]

I found a workaround for the new changes. Next update will offer "new" options.

[Aris-t2]

--> 2.8.2

[hopalongrock]

2.8.2 + Fx72 (latest nightly): There is no drop-down menu next to gear icon, only "search addons.mozilla.o" part is visible, and there are no buttons on Plugins. The buttons appear on extensions and themes.

[Aris-t2]

I replaced the the 2.8.2 file with a fixed version. Changes happened inside addonlists_show_buttons_instead_of_menu_popup_fx72.css.

[hopalongrock]

Plugins are now OK.
The first line is still different:
FX72:

Fx70:

[Pizzapops]

@Aris-t2 My problem with _addonlists_show_buttons_instead_of_menu_popup_fx72.css_is the the buttons do not replace the menu popup in the same location. The buttons end up in the far right of the addon page instead of the right side of the addon-card. Is the menu popup no longer contained within each addon-card?

Is this something Mozilla Devs did on purpose or a possible bug?

[Acid-Crash]

Same here.
Not sure if this is related to the fact that I do not use addons_manager_alternative_appearance_fx68.css (as mentioned in the userContent)
On release and prior to FF72 this was also disabled and buttons_instead_of_menu_popup did work fine...

[Aris-t2]

@hopalongrock
There is always room for improvement, but not everything will be 100% the same it was before.

@Pizzapops @Acid-Crash
I found the reason for this glitch.

Get custom_css_for_fx_v2.8.2v3.zip

[Pizzapops]

@Aris-t2 You must bed burning the midnight oil! Thanks for the update.
Can I get a clue for moving the buttons up to the same line the extension name.

[Aris-t2]

Who needs sleep? ;-)

Code should look like this.

addon-list .more-options-menu :-moz-any(addon-options,plugin-options) panel-list {
  margin-top: -40px !important;
}

[Acid-Crash]

Looks like the top popUp gets an update.

The mentioned module affects it as well, not sore if this is a good thing...

[Aris-t2]

Unfortunately "buttons" and the top menu use same "list" node internally.

[Acid-Crash]

Ok, in this case guess I need to choose the least among the two evils...

[Aris-t2]

v2.8.3 improves the box again

[Pizzapops]

@Aris-t2
I finally got the buttons aligned with the addon name. I had to change line #43 margin-top: -25px; to top:-25px !important; I also added right: 4px !important; to keep the buttons from hugging the right side.
I am still trying to shrink the card-contents by about 24px. It seems like it or the more-options-menu are not collapsing like they should. Today's attempts have not been successful.

[Aris-t2]

Try

addon-card:not([expanded="true"]) .addon.card {
  min-height: 0px !important;
  height: 24px !important;
}

Maybe max-height could be used too, if the above refuses to work.
