949836 - "Check for Updates" button is incorrectly labeled in About Firefox. Should be labeled "Automatically Download Latest Version".

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Cssnr]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

Click About Firefox, then Check for Updates


Actual results:

Firefox Downloads the Latest Version instead of Checking for Updates


Expected results:

It should do what it says and "Check for Updates", not download them automatically.

That string is actually provided by Firefox so changing product and component

not just the string but the code for the UI as well

I voted for this, but I want to make it clear that the button should not be relabeled, as suggested in the bug title.  The desired behavior, as noted in the original comment, is that clicking the button should check for, but NOT download, updates.  If an update is available, offer the option of downloading it.

Do you stlil see this?

If "ask me what to do" was set on the update tab, then this should have been fixed in Firefox 29 per bug 600500

This seems to be resolved with the new Firefox. Can probably close this out finally.
