[Bug-gnuzilla] Improved page for about:addons

[David Hedlund]

IceCat (and Abrowser) -> Tools -> Add-ons (about:addons) -> Get Add-ons
-- this page uses https://trisquel.info/en/browser/addons but it really
should use
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IceCat?&printable=yes, I have
maintained that list for about three years now.

i think that trisquel page gets it's data from the FSD; so your work is not in
vain

also, i just tried this and about:addons in the latest version of icecat loads
the FSD page

one thing that is obvious though, is that the trisquel page is MUCH nicer and
professional looking than the wiki; and is far more intuitive to use - that is
extremely important to many users and it's importance can not be under-stated

i would highly suggest that about:addons in both abrowser and icecat should both
point to the trisquel page - if tighter data integration is needed that that
should be so - i have been saying for years that the addons pages and the FSD
wiki itself should be made to look more modern and attractive - there is little
chance that will ever happen to the FSD wiki and the trisquel page, though it
could use improvement too, is superior in both appearance and usability

Changed the URL from https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IceCat to
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IceCat_WebExtensions (to make
it consistent with https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:IceCat_plugins)
