279888 - Security Notice Box on Frontpage Unused

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Wolf [:wolf]]

The Update-Beta Look, designed by Daniel Burka of Silverorange, featuered a
Security Update alert box for end-users, this was never tied in to the site
itself, it's commented out in index.php.
In the event of a security fire-drill w/ any of the Mozilla.org, which could
happen at *any* time, this box *should* be used, as it was designed to catch the
attention of end-users, which means, it needs to be hooked up.
Since Update.mozilla.org is client whitelisted for XPI patches, whereas
mozilla.org isn't, the ability for Mozilla Update to present security info
quickly and reliably is paramount. To ignore this feature for 1.0/1.1, would be
bad for a release "all about security" ;-)
