When you have software install disabled, the message bar popups up giving you the option to re-enable it, but with the new options window that doesn't work. This bug is similar to Bug 283944 but is not the same. Steps to reproduce: 1. Goto Tools->Options->Content 2. Uncheck "Allow web sites to install software" 3. Try to install something, e.g. http://hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/ 4. Click "Edit Options" Actual Results An empty window opens. Expected Results The options window opens at the Content page (or some other method of re-enabling software install is provided). p.s. This is *not* a dupe of Bug 283944, note step 2 above.

Tweaking summary (added pref name, xpinstall.enabled) to make bug more findable. Based on dupe: OS -> ALL

Mostly done, but I need to update the pane button when the dialog is already open and we're just switching the pane.

Now it flies. Use e.g. openPreferences("paneContent"); to open the Content pane. The pane button is now selected in the showPane method. Tested in Thunderbird as well. It doesn't break it, but Thunderbird needs a port of the openPreferences() changes to its openOptionsDialog() function in mailCore.js and adjust the callers of that.

I believe this caused Bug 292411

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
