Details

(Whiteboard: triaged) 

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160607223741

Steps to reproduce:

Drag local XPI file into Firefox window.


Actual results:

Firefox says the website is trying to install the add-on.


Expected results:

It is me dragging the file into Firefox window so i don't think its correct to say a website is trying to install it as no website is involved.

Instead of:
"This site would like to install an add-on in Firefox"

Maybe:
"Firefox would like to install an add-on"

Or maybe someone could find something better because its me (the user) that would like to install it when i drag and drop.

Markus, any thoughts on this?

Yes, I know that this happens. We did not create a separate string for that when it was implemented 16 months ago. It will definitely be an enhancement if we fix this. Not sure how big of a problem it is though.
