Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 340219

Description

[crf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

The restart to complete installation dialog shows the current extension version, not the version to which it will be updated. There isn't currently in this dialog any indication to what version you're updating.

For example, update firebug extension from 1.01 to 1.04. The installation proceeds to the point where Firefox advises that the program should be restarted to complete the installation. But the only version number it shows in this dialog is not the version of the extension it will be updating to (1.04), but the extension's previous installed version (1.01).

In the example:

Firebug 1.01
Restart to complete the installation.

--

Perhaps the final dialog could read, for example:

Firebug 1.01
Please restart to complete the installation of Firebug 1.04.

--

This may be less confusing.(Dialogs should also be polite, and say "please").
