(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect, P3)

Description

[ovidiu boca[:Ovidiu]]

STR:
1.Download the build and installed on admin user. http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2016/05/2016-05-13-20-52-10-oak/firefox-49.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg
2.Switch to standard. go to About Nightly, and after the update is downloaded, click "Restart Nightly to update"
3. Software Update window is prompted in front of the browser. 
4. Click "Restart Later"
5. Go and click again "Restart Nightly to Update"


Actual results: 
The "Software Update" window is open behind the browser.

Expected results:
The "Software Update" window should be  open in front of the browser.

Note1: When you start FF and is not set as the default browser the "default browser check" window will be shown which will send the updater window behind the browser. 
Note2: After the 3rd restart, the "default browser check" window is not shown anymore.
If you uncheck the button "Always perform this check when starting Nightly" next time when you start the browser the "Software Update" window is displayed in front of the browser, as expected. So in conclusion we think that the "Default Browser" window is the cause.

I believe that the dialog for the default browser check will be going away in bug 1143116 which will fix this bug.

and if it doesn't a new bug should be filed to delay showing that ui until after the browser window is shown which should fix this as well.

During the testing for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311614#c64 we observed that "Nightly Update" window is open after the "Nightly Software Update" window, due to this the focus of "Nightly Software Update" window is lost. Should we filed a new bug? 

Note: I attached a screen recorder with the issue.

This should get fixed by bug 1273545 and doesn't require a separate bug.
