303751 - Thunderbird's Incompatible Items dialogue contains irrelevant text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

When checking for updates to Thunderbird and a new version is found that is
incompatible with some installed addons, a message is displayed offering a list
of incompatible items. The dialogue that appears when selecting the Show List
button contains the following text:

"It is highly recommended that you update Thunderbird even if some of your
Extensions and Themes become incompatible, to ensure maximum protection when
browsing the Web."

Thunderbird is not Firefox, so the Web shouldn't be mentioned.

To reproduce:
Use the config editor to change app.extensions.version to (e.g.) 1
Install an extension or theme that isn't compatible with 1.0+
Resext app.extensions.version; restart Thunderbird
Help > Check for Updates
Assuming there is an update, click the Show List button
Read the last sentence of text
