135504 - ugly windows when installing Java RTE

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Installer: XPInstall Engine, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    200204010

When open a site that requires Java I first get a pop-up screen asking me
whether I want to install the appropriate plugin. When I click yes I get a whole
browser window with the choice between Windows, Windows International and Linux.
I select Linux and i get a popup-screen showing progress. When installing is
done I get another browser window that says installation has succeeded.

So for a simple Java plugin I get 2 popup-windows, and 2 browser windows. I
think the browser windows should be replaced by simple popup screens, and the 4
windows should be reduced to 2. 

- Informing that the installation has succeded can be done in the same window as
the installation progress
- The choice between Linux or Windows can be made by the browser, no user needed
for this!

To be short: the installation windows for a plugin can be polished somewhat.

Over to marketing. This isn't part of the browser I can fix, it's a page on the
Netscape website.
