654849 - Buttons for "Cancel" and "Apply and Update" are reversed in Beta vs. Aurora

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

When I do the channel switching, the order is reversed depending on if I'm in Aurora or Beta.

In Aurora - go to About, then select Change to pull up the channel-switcher, the cancel button is on the left (I select Beta & apply/update)

When you restart in Beta and go to About, then select Change to pull up the channel-switcher, the cancel button is on the right.

(This is on a mac btw)

I see this on Linux too, which we originally thought was because of the native button order there, but this looks like it is cross platform.

This looks to be Mac and Linux only, as I just tested in a Windows VM and the button placement is in the same order on both Beta and Aurora.

This is happening because mozilla-aurora was merged into mozilla-beta before bug 651578 landed on aurora, and the test beta build was made from that merge. If mozilla-aurora is merged into mozilla-beta again before the real beta build is made, this issue should be fixed. I assume that's going to happen, but I'm not aware of all the details of the rapid release process, especially in this unique transition time.

I'm resolving this as invalid because it won't be a problem with the real beta build.
