1191920 - Blocking an unverified add-on that needs restart shows a misleading message

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Markus Jaritz [:markus] (UX)]

Attachment: ThunderbirdWarningUnresponsiveScript.PNG

This block of an add-on that needs a restart, results in the restart message to be shown, with an Undo that is not working. Instead a message of why this add-on will be deactivated should be shown, on a red background, as all other unverified add-ons.

<add-on name> could not be verified for use in <Product> and will be disabled after you restart <Product>.   Restart now   More Information

Matej, can you please review the message I combined of two of our existing messages.
I am not fully happy with the repetition of the Product-Name, please tell me what you think.

I think you could just remove the second instance:

<add-on name> could not be verified for use in <Product> and will be disabled after you restart.   Restart now   More Information

That reads well to me.

Non-restartless extensions are about to be gone...
