934116 - When upgrading a profile to Australis there should be a warning or information about customizations

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 939305

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Zenz]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131028112903

Steps to reproduce:

At the moment upgrading to Australis does simply change the current layout of the profile without any warning or notification. This is especially bad (when Australis is released) if you consider auto-updates or not directly user invoked updates (via apt-get f.e.) in combination with the rapid release cycle as it leaves the user without any notification of what just happened.


Actual results:

Customizations are silently undone and can not be restored (f.e. having the tabs on the bottom or having the navigation box in the menu bar).


Expected results:

The user should be notified why this just happened and possible solutions could be presented.

We are working on a first-run experience / UI Tour in bug 862998 and dependencies which may help with some of this.

Alex: This seems like a dupe of the thing you're building.

I see there is now a meta bug for that onboarding (aka. first-run) work so I'll dupe this there.
