Summary: Change "MacOSX" to "Mac OS X" for the Mac-only install buttons? The platform-specific install button for Mac OS X reads, "Add to Firefox (MacOSX)" Other platform-specific buttons read "Add to Firefox (Windows)" and "Add to Firefox (Linux)". Fred tells me it's a non-trivial change to do: s/MacOSX/Mac OS X (or just s/MacOSX/Mac)
Technical note: We need to make sure the change doesn't break anything, and when I tried it on my local copy, platforms part of the dev CP hit PHP's memory limit. This may be CakePHP being greedy. Anyhow even if the string change doesn't break anything (which I hope), we still either need to push code changes to the localizer CP to fix the memory limit thing, or run SQL to get the change in.
This definitely should not be changed to "Mac OS X" even if it doesn't break anything; the OS is called "MacOS X", not "Mac OS X".
(In reply to comment #2) > This definitely should not be changed to "Mac OS X" even if it doesn't break > anything; the OS is called "MacOS X", not "Mac OS X". Interesting, particularly because Apple disagrees: http://www.apple.com/macosx/
another technical side note I stubled on while fixing another bug: this breaks install buttons because "macosx" is echoed out as part of the id of the element.
NO!

That makes more sense, but should still come with a reason.

Ryan: is comment 4 fixed with your awesome new buttons? If so this is probably trivial to fix
