444087 - multiple xpi installation should retrieve file descriptions from candidate xpis while it's downloading others

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

Add-ons "installation" should get add-on descriptions as it goes instead of waiting for all the extensions to be downloaded....

steps:
1. load http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/xpi/
2. load javascript:(function(){b=[];L=document.links;for (a=0;a<L.length;++a) if (/\.xpi/.test(l=L[a].href)) b.push(l); InstallTrigger.install(b)})()
3. click allow
4. wait and click install

expected results:
as it downloads '2', it should be able to figure out the proper description for 1

actual results:
descriptions are only shown after it downloads all extensions and starts installing the first one
