510418 - Consider setting app.update.showInstalledUI to false in fennec's default prefs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

From firefox.js

// Whether or not we show a dialog box informing the user that the update was
// successfully applied. This is off in Firefox by default since we show a 
// upgrade start page instead! Other apps may wish to show this UI, and supply
// a whatsNewURL field in their brand.properties that contains a link to a page
// which tells users what's new in this new update.
pref("app.update.showInstalledUI", false);

iirc there isn't even the ability to show a link at present and no other apps show this ui except Sunbird which I believe is just an oversight.

I'm agree. I think we want this pref to default to false because the behavior is: search for a open window of type Update:Wizard or open a new window.
