302908 - Software update must not force Firefox to quit

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[db]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I just got a message about updating FF from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. The download process
worked good but when the installer told me that I had to quit FF I only had the
option to quit. The installer needs another option like "Quit Firefox later". 

Furthermore, when I clicked the warning dialog's close button it actually
proceeded and quitted FF. This must not happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run software update
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No way to postpone installation.

Inconstitent UI

Expected Results:  
There must be an option "Update Firefox later". This option should cancel out
from the warning dialog (the dialog that says you have FF running).

Furthermore, the close button for the warning dialog should either be removed
completely or possibly, but I don't like that, perform the same action as
"Update Firefox later", "Cancel" or whatever you choose to label the option.

N.B. To avoid confusion about what the alternatives actually do it is a good
idea to use a verb as the button label (i.e., "Update" rather than "Yes|No|Cancel"

I mark this as critical. The reason for this is that when I clicked the close
button I lost data; I had a form open in FF and had entered quite a lot of data
into this form when the installer closed FF.

The update system has been completly redesigned for firefox 1.5, you now have
the option to restart later.
