799814 - [stub installer] Allow the user to specify to launch/not launch Firefox post installation completion in the customized installation path

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Heard this on a mozilla zine discussion - we should allow the user in a customized installation path to specify whether they would like Firefox to launch on the completion of the installation of Firefox. This user brought up concerns that they have no way to control it in the stub installer.

Stephen, do you think this should be wontfix or can you think of a decent place to put another checkbox? Keep in mind that with some locales the text for setting as the default browser is more than one line. Thanks!

The design intent was to have a seamless experience from install to launch, it doesn't seem worth the overhead add an option to prevent launching Firefox even in the options panel.
