393354 - Finder window for .dmg does not match the install instructions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 320155

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Alex Faaborg [:faaborg] (Firefox UX)]

Attachment: Instructions, and what the user sees

When opening the disk image to install Firefox on the mac, the Finder window the user is presented with does not match the Finder window shown in step three of the instructions (screen shots in the attachment).

To fix this, I think we should either:

A) Set our disk image to display the Finder sidebar with the applications directory
B) Include an actual alias to the applications directory in the disk image, and modify the instructions to drag Firefox to the alias.

Personally, I think B is the better solution.

option B is bug 320155

Comment 2

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

option A is bug 320155 comment 13, so let's just go over there (I assume you
did file a bug on the website to get the instructions to match reality until
reality changes, right?).
