720128 - Help/About Nightly does not mention pending software update

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 624617

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[B.J. Herbison]

Attachment: Non-helpful About Nightly dialog box

A message about a new version of Nightly appeared, and I ignored it as I was busy. When I cleaned up activities I went to Firefox and tried Help/About Nightly.

The box gave the current version number. As it didn't way "checking for updates" or "available update" I was left confused.

I eventually found the Separate Software update box in another Workspace hidden behind Thunderbird.

The About Nightly box, being the typical place to go for updates, should know about the pending Software Update and say: "There is a pending software update. It will be installed the next time Nightly restarts, or <click here> to transfer focus to the open software update dialog to install now."
