491446 - when installing experimental add-ons, button should be orange instead of green

I like the policy about allowing non-logged-in users the option to install plugins, but green says Do It!, while Mozilla is not recommending these add-ons. It should instead be yellow or light red.

Reproducible: Always

I like this idea. In fact, Mozilla already does this sort of thing with the download button for the latest Firefox betas. Orange here, instead of green:

I think it makes sense do the same thing here with experimental add-ons. Would help to express that these are different from other add-ons a little more.

I'm sure we could debate at-length over the color, but Firefox betas get orange and it looks good enough to me. ;)

buttons were redesigned using the red border for this purpose.  I think I would accept a patch for this, but we're not going to spend dev time on it and leaving this open just means it sits around until the next redesign. ->wontfix

See "Not reviewed" in attachment 427015 [details]

Looks like this is going to get done in some form. Duping to new buttons bug.
