268144 - EULA is blank in Linux installer

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2004110609-0.11 bits on linux fc2. Tracy says this is *not* a
problem on Windows.

1. download installer, firefox-1.0.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz and
decompress it (tar xzvf filename).

2. cd in firefox-installer and run the installer.

3. Welcome Screen in installer looks fine, click the Firward button.

results: the Software Agreement panel has a blank area which should have the
EULA (end user license agreement).

is this a bug, or are we waiting on proper content here, bug 252679?

feel free to clear the blocker/nomination if this is expected behavior, but pls
explain why.

Remove Windows-style quote marks, gtk wants UTF8 text here.

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Possibly related?-- Thunderbird branch build on windows has vertical bars
scattered throughout the EULA today.  I don't see that on FF branch today.

We should definitely keep this within ASCII.

doesn't look like the 2004-11-06-14-0.11 bits are fixed: the EULA is still blank
there. then again, I see that Ben checked in something at 15:42 for this --so
I'll check with a later build (tomorrow am?).

The Firefox Linux branch build just produced should contain even Ben's latest
fix to the EULA quotes.  You can find it at:
