In Bug 1458308, the app.update.auto preference was transitioned, on Windows, to be stored in a file in the update directory. This introduced the possibility of encountering a write error when changing the value of the setting in about:preferences. Currently, this error is communicated via a native modal dialog box with an error message. Since this error should not occur unless the user messed up the directory structure or permissions, this should be a very uncommon error to see, so the ugly dialog box was considered acceptable. But ideally, we would change this error message to display inline in the page.
