300256 - Error message when software installation is disabled does not differentiate between Windows and Linux

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

To reproduce:
Un-check "Allow web sites to install software" and try to install any extension.
You'll see the message "Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit
Options... to enable it and try again." appearing in the info bar. Edit
Options... is only true for *Unix afaik (except Mac OS X, this is excluded from
*unix platforms here), on Windows (or better said non-*Unix platforms) the
Options menu item is placed under Tools.

The "Edit Options" they refer to is on the button to the left in the
notification bar, not the menu.
