<Wolf_> so.. umm. whats the point of the xpinstall dialog having a countdown

<Wolf_> Thunderbird and XULRunner (CZ in XULR to be exact).. click install, select xpi, get warning with countdown.. seems, umm. odd.

<philor> ah, yeah, I always enjoy it when I open a local file in Firefox too. I'd guess nobody's had the cojones to write an xpinstall method where the caller says "no really, I'm not going to let anyone put this underneath where the user's about to click"

First line was mispasted.

<Wolf_> so.. umm. whats the point of the xpinstall dialog having a countdown in apps that give you the install button for extensions? ;-)

The countdown is long gone.
