307850 - License Agreement refers to "Accept button" - Button is actually "Next".

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 462254

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Ashley Morton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Note: I've classified this as "Normal" - It really doesn't affect function at
all, but it *might* (I suppose, I'm not a lawyer!) have legal ramifications,
because it's about the specific text in the License Agreement.  Feel free to
reclassify!
-----
The License Agreement refers to an "Accept button".  However, there are two
options - "I accept the terms of this agreement" being one, and then there's a
"Next" button.  It strikes me that the language should be identical, thus either
there should be an actual "Accept" button, or the language should be changed to
"Next button".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save download to desktop.
2. Double-click on it.
3.
Actual Results:  
License agreement appeared. Language did not match button.

Expected Results:  
Described above - language should match button.

Yes this is correct, but i suppose that the accept button that the text is
referring to is the radio button under the agreement, not the Next button.

It's true that every installer who cares to read the actual text, and those who
may even notice the discrepancy, will still likely click the radio button, and
then click the next button regardless, but I still believe that there is a
benefit to making the text directly, explicitly, reflect something that exists,
rather than something that "we all understand".  

For example, it doesn't make sense for a help file to make reference to a
"Refresh" button, when we actually have a "Reload current page" button.  Sure,
we all know what it *means*, but the text should talk about things that actually
exist, not things that we can all figure out.

The license has been removed by Bug 462254. Resolving duplicate so it is easy to track it back to that bug.
