The Nightly DMG download is missing a background in its Finder / folder view. There's just a Nightly icon and App folder shortcut showing, without the background grouping/arrow to guide the user to drag Nightly to install it. Almost certainly caused by bug 1404796, and same issue/fix as bug 1399731. Stephen, you want to regenerate the DSStore again? Hopefully we're done renaming things. :)

Update the Firefox Nightly DMG to pick up the background image again.

For future reference this is process I used for this: # Custom Disk Image Background / Window Creation 1. Update mozilla-central 2. Check to make sure you are using the right brand directory: * Official: ac_add_options --with-branding=browser/branding/official * Dev Tools: ac_add_options --with-branding=browser/branding/aurora * Nightly: ac_add_options --with-branding=browser/branding/nightly 3. Clobber your build: ./mach clobber 4. Build Firefox: ./mach build 5. Build Firefox packaging: ./mach package 6. Find the resulting DMG e.g.: /Users/shorlander/Mercurial/mozilla-central/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin17.4.0/dist/firefox-60.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg 7. Copy the DMG to a new place you can work on it e.g.: ~/Desktop/Firefox DMG Creation/firefox-60.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg 8. Open the Disk Utility application 9. From the Menu Bar choose "New Image --> Blank Image…" * Save as: <Unique File Name.dmg> - Needs to be unique because there appears to be some kind of caching going on that messes with the modifications * Name: <The Exact Name of Your Disk Image> - E.g. "Firefox Nightly" * Size: <Big Enough to Fit the Firefox application, background image, and Application Folder alias> - I used 500 MB * Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - This probably doesn't really matter * Encryption: None * Partitions: Single partition - GUID Partition Map * Image Format: **read/write disk image** 10. Open your new DMG 11. Copy the Firefox application to the new Disk Image from the old Disk Image 12. Create a new alias to the Applications folder * Or copy it from the old Disk Image 13. Create a new hidden folder called ".background" * mkdir /Volumes/Firefox\ Nightly/.background 14. Copy the background image you want to use to ".background" * mv ~/Desktop/background.png /Volumes/Firefox\ Nightly/.background/ 15. Arrange the open DMG window the way you want: * Size * Layout * Viewable Parts * Etc. 16. In a new Finder window "Menu Bar --> Go --> Go to Folder… ⇧⌘ G " and open /Volumes/Firefox Nightly/.background 17. Open the View Options window with ⌘ J 18. Choose the background.png from /Volumes/Firefox\ Nightly/.background/background.png 19. Eject your DMG 20. Go back to Disk Utility 21. From the Menu Bar choose "Image --> Convert…" * Select the DMG you have been working on * Encryption: None * Image Format: **compressed** 22. Open you converted DMG and make sure it worked 23. Copy the .DS_Store file to the right branding directory in mozilla-central * cp /Volumes/Firefox\ Nightly/.DS_Store ~/Mercurial/mozilla-central/browser/branding/nightly/dsstore 24. Clobber, build and package again 25. Test that it works 26. Done!

(In reply to Justin Dolske [:Dolske] from comment #3) > Comment on attachment 8951066 [details] [diff] [review] > update-nightly-dsstore.patch > > rs=me, and thanks for documenting how to do this. I should note that if that process seems ridiculous, that's because it is ;) But also that in the past I have tried various tools to streamline this process and none of them worked quite right.
