Yes, I see this nuissance... I'll try to investigate this but it may be non-trivial to fix due to some intricate hacks I had to introduce in the dialog in order for other url-opening requests (i.e. from the discovery pane and addon descriptions) to work the way they do now. Running AOM in a dialog makes it extremely unfriendly towards links, and this maybe one manifestation of that problem.
I just spotted another add-on that
seems to be affected by such bug, but with more
dramatic results: upon trying to open
Ghostery 5.3.2's options dialog (that normally opens in a tab) from about:addons, the options window will open, but with a size of 1px by 1px!
Then Add-ons Manager Dialog Returns won't let you just close about:addons: you first have to close Ghostery's dialog... but there is only a tiny space (only a few pixels wide) where you can really interact with the close button, making it harder to exit (at first I thought that about:addons was frozen and that I wouldn't be able to do anything besides restarting Firefox).
Here's an excerpt (pertaining to Ghostery) from the log when this bug occurs:
For the record, when trying to open the options of
S3.Menu Wizard from about:addons, a similar 1-pixel-large dialog opens up, but it quickly closes to be opened in a tab (just like the default behavior).
I have not yet checked how Add-ons Manager Dialog handle opening addon's options dialog, nor how these 2 particular add-ons try to open their respective dialogs (safe for the fact that one uses a resource:// URL to open a html, and the other a chrome:// URL to open a XUL), but it could help in finding a workaround for the aforementioned problematic add-ons...
