- Description
- Instead of a page that has a browser element, change the update snippet format to include references to resources (images, text) which will be assembled in a XUL dialog on the client side.
Goals / Use Cases
- Removing the browser element will remove the requirement to verify the size of the billboard content per locale.
- Make the ui look more like it is part of the application.
Non Goals
- major redesign of the major update offer screen
- adding controls/fields to ask users why they are declining an update
Design
The updater window should look like this-ish:
with:
- a background image (stored as a data URI in the update snippet)
- a logo image (stored as a data URI in the update snippet)
- large header text (stored as text data in the update snippet)
- bold subheader text (stored as text data in the update snippet)
- description text (stored as text data in the update snippet)
Bugs
- Bug 480178 - Rebuild Software Update without browser element
- Bug 475671 - Separate the billboard url from detailsURL in the update xml
