https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/920669704476#l7.12 <!ENTITY updateAuto.label "Automatically install updates (recommended: improved security)"> <!ENTITY updateAuto.label "Automatically install updates from desktop &brandShortName;"> Considering how the string has changed, please change the name of this entity.

Is this string change approved from UX?

Another problem with this string is that is shown not only on Windows 8, but on other OS's as well where it doesn't make any sense at all.

We could fix that by dynamically changing the label, but I like the more simple solution of just changing the string as per Comment 0. Just waiting for Yuan to confirm this is OK.

Sorry ignore Comment 3, I misinterpreted what Comment 0 meant. I think comment 0 is just for the entity name itself and not the string right? On pre-win8 machines I think we need to dynamically change the string to what it was before instead of including "from Desktop Firefox"

(In reply to Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy] from comment #4) > Sorry ignore Comment 3, I misinterpreted what Comment 0 meant. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Making_String_Changes Once landed on mozilla-central, if you want to change a string you have to change its entity name.

Understood, thanks for the link!

Questions for Yuan and rstrong before I do this work to avoid going back and forth. I'd like to do this before the next migration if there is work to be done: - Do we need to update pre -win8 to change back to: "Automatically install updates (recommended: improved security)" from what it currently is: "Automatically install updates from desktop &brandShortName;" - (rstrong only) Do we need to update the entity label? The link quote above says you don't need to unless you are changing the meaning, I think the meaning stays the same, even know there is a slight modification to it to not say recommended. - Do we want the (recommended: improved security) note re-added in win8? If so do we add it to the metro and desktop option?

I'm not rstrong, but the problem here is not the "general meaning", you introduced a variable there and changing the entity name is the only way to force localizers to notice that change.

Since there are localizers that localize nightly please change the entity name to avoid confusion. > - Do we want the (recommended: improved security) note re-added in win8?

1. Do we need to update pre -win8 to change back to: "Automatically install updates (recommended: improved security)" from what it currently is:"Automatically install updates from desktop &brandShortName;"? For pre Windows 8 updates, that makes sense to me. And on Mac, it has the same message. 2. Do we want the (recommended: improved security) note re-added in win8? If so do we add it to the metro and desktop option? I think we shouldn't add the note back in Windows 8. We have given "Not checking updates" a security risk flag. I think there is enough information to inform users about security risks. Adding to "Update desktop" and "Update metro and desktop" doesn't really help the users make a decision. And there is already a note about add-on compatibility. Adding one more is going to cause information overload... Adding to either one of these options may create confusion. Users should make their decision based on the add-on compatibility not security risks. We should focus on showing the most important note, in order to help users make their choice.

I'd like to try to get this landed on m-c before the uplift if possible.

Comment on attachment 764175 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1. Discussed a couple of problems with bbondy on irc and he will be resubmitting

- Had mistakenly added the dynamic string to the dtd instead of the properties file. - When I previously tested, I was mistakenly looking at the first string instead of the 2nd in metro builds (which was correct for in metro).

btw: I usually go with a separate label, keep all of the strings in the dtd, and just hide the label(s) as appropriate... it just seems cleaner code and string wise.

Normally I do this for labels, and I did this for the previous bug, but in this case there is code that checks the radio button value that would have to be more complicated, so I think in this case it's better to use the properties file instead.
