(Whiteboard: [PDT+] w/b minus on 03/10 - fix in hand) 

When you doing a XPInstall, our progress dialog during download shows the 
progress dialog as undefined.

This is going to be a problem when users use this beta1 software to upgrade to 
beta 2, because they'll be downloading large xpi files over modem speed.  It 
will look like our browser is locked up or dead, during the download of xpi 
files.
bad user experience for upgrading to the next release.
nominating for beta1
Keywords: beta1
Have a fix in hand that has been tested on Mac and Windows.  The change is not 
all that much code anyway.

Whiteboard: fix in hand
per PDT, need more info. What is hte problem when upgrading to beta2 that we 
have to fix now?
Whiteboard: fix in hand → [NEED INFO] fix in hand
User's will be encouraged to use their B1 browser to upgrade to B2 bits through 
SmartUpdate site.  Our downloads are fairely large... browser package 4MB, mail 
package 1MB, jre 7MB...  During the download of those large XPI files, it will 
look like browser is dead or locked up, and bad things can happen with no 
idication that the program is still alive.

By getting this fix in, users can see the activity in progress bar and see 
browser working.

Putting on PDT+ radar for beta1.  Get it in ASAP!!  Will turn to minus on 03/10

Looks good on Mac and Windows.  Linux still shows the old progress bar (not so 
lovely I must say ;-)  Reopening.

Strange, it doesn't show the progress activity on unix...
Don is gone on vacation next week.  Dan, can you help?

I'm making this fixed. The code change was XP, so if Linux is the one oddball 
there is maybe some other XPFE bug. Created bug 31452 to track the Linux 
problem, which I don't believe is going to be a beta stopper since it's after 
the 3/10 cutoff.
I agree.  Per Dan's comment, marking this as FIXED.
Please refer to bug 31452 for Linux problem.
