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.

  • 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.
