Summary

  • A notification that there is an update downloaded/ready to install and Firefox needs to be restarted to apply the update is displayed 24 hours after an update has been downloaded.
  • This changes the old notification time from 12 to 24 hours.
  • This feature is available starting Firefox 8.

  • Design and infrastructure:
    • Bug 659425 - get average session length from crash stats and Test Pilot studies
    • Bug 657472 - 'Tune' the time to wait before displaying the update been downloaded / restart notification and provide ability to override in the update xml

Use Cases to Test

Basic Functional Testing
  • Steps to verify:
    • Install a version of Firefox which requires updates
    • Launch Firefox
    • Go to Help/About Firefox
    • After the new version is downloaded, simply close the About dialog and let Firefox opened without restarting
  • Expected result:
    • 24 hours later a notification to restart Firefox in order to apply the update is displayed

Edge Cases
  • Also, the notification should occur with no problem after 24 hours if:
    • Multiple tabs are loaded
    • Multiple windows of Firefox are opened
    • Panorama is opened
    • Heavy user profile is loaded (big history, multiple bookmarks, settings, tabs, add-ons)
