Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 447570

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

When you have many add on, the chance that you have an update for one every time that you restart firefox is quit high. You know the drill: You get a window saying that there is an update, and it prompts you to install it. You accept, it download the update, install it and the it says "Installation successful" and a shiny "Continue" button waits to be pressed. I think the default behavior should be that firefox only notifies the user and waits for interaction if a error occurs. Any other case should continue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start firefox
2.If there is an update you get a dialog, you choose to update.

Actual Results:  
When it its successfully updated a continue button waits to be pressed.

Expected Results:  
If the update goes ok, firefox should continue without waiting. If the update goes wrong, firefox should notify the user.

I am not sure if this would be WONTFIX, just for security concerns. I think this may even be a dupe of Bug 447570, but with update notification (which would most likely be covered in that bug). 

Reporter, please clarify what you want, and if it is the same as Bug 447570.

Thanks Tyler. It is almost the same suggestion. The minor difference is that I think that the notification should be there when. I adding my comments to bug 447570 and marking this as duplicate.
