Attached image save password.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

Enter a new or updated password at any site that requires a login.

Actual results:

The Save Password or Update password popup appears. But in Windows 10 the Update button is on the left, and in linux the Update button is on the right. Both Firefox versions are 75.0.

Expected results:

For consistency, and to avoid making mistakes, the update/don't update buttons should be on the same side for all operating systems.

Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Hello, I believe we are matching the platform convention… consistency with the platform is more important than consistency between platforms as that would mean we would be inconsistent with some platforms.

By default, GTK+ dialogs use the button order advocated by the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines with the affirmative button at the far right, and the cancel button left of it.
