Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[PPP]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; nl; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; nl; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8

When Firefox automatically downloaded and installed a new version of the browser, it asks me to restart the browser. When I did that, a webpage appears stating that "You have updated Firefox". This is not true, I did nothing at all. Autoupdate updated Firefox, not me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do nothing unusual.
2. See how sometimes a box appears that asks you to restart your browser.
3. After restarting the browser, get credits for something you didn't do.

Actual Results:  
The browser is updated, giving you the credits for it.

Expected Results:  
The browser should be updated, and give a message: "Autoupdate has automatically updated Firefox for you".

Autoupdate presents the user with a choice to update Firefox. The user can choose to download and install, or defer. By choosing to download and install Firefox, the user is fulfilling his/her part of the action that results in us displaying the page that says "You have updated Firefox." Closing as invalid.
