275373 - Firefox reports that was unable to find any update instead of reporting that your system is up to date

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261675

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Tristan Grimaux]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Firefox reports that was unable to find any update instead of reporting that
your system is up to date. I'm sending this as a bug because when you press the
check now button, what you need to know is if your system is all ok.

Sending a message like that, it is not clear whether the error occured because
of a network problem, or the list of updates was not avialable for some reason.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go To preferences
2.Click on advanced preferences
3.Push the Check now on the Software Update section with everything up to date.

Actual Results:  
The program responds that it was unable to find any update

Expected Results:  
The system is all ok
