1796269 - Use notification instead of modal dialog when Primary Password change succeeded.

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Hanna Jones [:hjones]]

Attachment: Prompt shown after adding or changing a primary password

A prompt appears after adding or changing a primary password that displays text indicating that the password change was successful along with a large yellow warning icon. That warning icon feels misleading since we use similar icons in other places in Firefox to indicate that something has gone wrong or that some action is required. It also seems incongruous with the positive tone of the message.

This might be more of a small enhancement rather than a bug, but it feels like we should be using a different icon to indicate success.

Thanks Hanna for bringing this up! I think we should not even use modal there and display a notification near the address bar instead. Operation is done successfully, no need to distract user further. Or show notification near setting, like we do when we copy username or password on about:logins, that would be even closer to the source of the operation.

Let me hijack your bug report to address that modality issue as well :)
