238190 - Default Browser Dialog>" Check at startup next time, too" is weird

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pham]

I don't think that's good wording. It's like saying, Do you want popcorn, too?
or Do you want, too, fly?
The comma should be erased. Also, wording like "Always check when Firefox is not
the default browser" woul be better

The comma does look odd, and the wording is a little screwy.  My suggestions
before I wait and see what's decided:

Check (on|at) every startup.
Check whether &brandShortName; is the default browser (on|at) every startup.

I'm not sure which (on or at) is proper grammar, so I'd say go for the one
that's proper grammar.  (For those who don't know, &brandShortName; is
equivalent to "Firefox".)

This is really a trivial issue; it's reasonably understandable the way it is now.

Here's my suggestion, based on IE:

"Always perform this check when starting Mozilla Firefox."

What about:

"Let &brandShortName; check whether it is the default browser when starting."

At least it fits on one line :).

Ah, sorry, I was talking about the phrase in preferences.

"Firefox should check to see if it is the default browser when
starting."  


This is how it appears on mine Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040812 Firefox/0.9.1+ (bangbang023)

Should this be marked as fixed, or is there still discussion on how to get it
onto one line or something?

It has the keyword fixed-aviary1.0 already, so it's not surprising that you see
it fixed. However, my guess is that it has not been checked into the trunk yet,
which would explain why the bug hasn't been marked as FIXED.

Fixed by branch landing.
