While checking for updates, if an update is found there is a different update window that flashs for about a second on my pretty fast system...on slower machines a little more time, then the regular update window is shown. See attached screenshots. I think this started after the landing of the minor/major update patches.

Seth: is this one yours? Or maybe the nightly update.xml is being published wrong for the changes now?
investigating. I don't think the problem is with update.xml for the nightlies.

thanks again for catching this, kurt. I think the fix for this would be to move the call to "detailsDeck.selectedIndex = 1;" to after all the code (in onShowMoreDetails(), see http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/toolkit/mozapps/update/content/updates.js#742) that twiddles the various UI elements in that card of the deck, before switching to it. but me first confirm that this is really what's going on (by adding a delay after the call to "detailsDeck.selectedIndex = 1;") and confirm that my idea would fix it. (asking for blocking, as this is a regression from 1.5) if you look at the diff of my checkin for bugs #329730 and bug #348389, I added all the code to twiddles the UI (for major and minor) *after* the existing call to "detailsDeck.selectedIndex = 1;",

I am wondering why kurt's screen shots show a branded version of the software update wizard. I'm not seeing the branding on trunk or branch (that was a problem a while back, but it has been fixed.)
kurt, what's your build id?
Screenshot were from trolly on mozillazine forums. I could never catch a screenshot because it was so quick. I'm using latest trunk though and not sure if its branded or not. Will have to try again tomorrow.
some additional info: I think the ui bug represented by the screen shots correspond to onPageShow() for gUpdatesAvailablePage is slow, not if onShowMoreDetails() (as I mentioned earlier). I'm not so sure this is a blocker anymore either.

> update windows with incompatible extensions > The second window points out incompatible extensions, the first one doesn't. dao, thanks for the screen shots. a quick question: are those screen shots taken from your trunk build as the update wizard comes up? (You see image #1, and then image #2?) as I mentioned in comment #9, this screen shot (and the originally described problem) seem possible if onPageShow() takes a while to complete. one reasonable way for that to happen is if the check for incompatible extensions took a while to complete (which happens in onPageShow() before the call to onShowMoreDetails(); see http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/toolkit/mozapps/update/content/updates.js#698 dao, do you happen to have lots of extensions? I'm not going to mark this as blocking? / regression until I'm sure.

I see image 1, and image 2 like 1 second afterwards. I chose "Check for Updates..." manually, if that matters. > dao, do you happen to have lots of extensions? Yes, I do have 37 extensions + 7 themes installed.

based on the original bug report, I claim by fix for bug #351821 fixes this exact issue. dao / kurt, could you update and try again? Note, to see the test you will need to first update to get a build with the fix, and then update again (the next day) in order to see the fix in action. On the branch, you should see "Please wait..." (instead of this bug.) On the trunk, you should see "Checking if this update will cause problems with your extensions and/or themes...".

(In reply to comment #15) worked for me.
Still there for me when updating Firefox trunk from 18th t19th nightly. Seen it the other day also.

kurt, could you get some screen shots (and indicate which build you were using?)

kurt, when you get tomorrow's update (for the trunk), can you tell me if you see the new UI (with the throbber) it should look something like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=238550 (note, that is for the mac, but windows trunk should look similar.) specificially, do you see the throbber and the "Checking if this update will cause problems with your extensions and/or themes..." text?
sorry for the bug spam, re-assigning bugs back to default owner if I'm not working actively on them.

Well I haven't seen this in a long, long time so I'm resolving this as fixed.
