Hi Jennifer- Could the Creative team please provide text and images for the second scene of /new that explain the Windows-only stub installer process? Would it be possible to have this complete by October 25? I'm happy to meet to answer any questions. Thanks for your help.
I've reached out to UX for help getting high res screenshots. This is the page we need to update http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/#download-fx

Hi Jennifer- It is looking like it will be best if we could have the creative team go ahead and make these screenshots for us from scratch. The designer can reach out to me and Chris directly for more detailed info. Thanks for your help, Jen
The creative team may not be your best resource for these, as we are all on Macs and getting Windows screenshots that way is quite a process. In the past we've used Silverorange for this type of work. Any reason we couldn't do that this time?
Hey John - I like that idea. Hi Steven - Could you and your team please help us out with this?

Yeah, we can help with this. I can start by getting the screenshots ready. I'm thinking these should still be Windows 7 based.

Hi Steven- Windows 7 is 49% of our Windows audience, followed by XP at 40%, so let's go with Windows 7 screenshots. Thx, Jen
Michael from SO had some feedback in another bug related to this: http://stage2.silverorange.com:8184/en-US/firefox/new/#download-fx shows a special image in the first slot for IE < 9. The image has several problems: 1. there is a mouse cursor in the title-bar 2. the image uses alpha transparency but is shown to IE 6, 7 and 8 users where alpha transparency is not supported. 3. a firefox version number is visible in the text
The pull request updates the screenshots (and fixes all kinds of other stuff), but I haven't updated the text. For the windows instruction, the biggest change is second screenshot (link below [1]) has the stub-installer. The step 2 text on Windows reads: > "Click Run to launch the Mozilla Firefox setup wizard. Then, just follow the steps (we've made the process as painless as possible)." I think this still holds up as is. [1] https://github.com/sgarrity/bedrock/blob/d7f466049a7d1a4ed88ebf07e9b7ebab96791053/media/img/firefox/new/install-win.jpg

Jen or Mike, I've posted a screenshot and explanation on the pull request: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/1311 Do we need review from a designer?

(In reply to Steven Garrity [:sgarrity] from comment #13) > Sean, can you take a quick look at comment #12? Sean and I chatted on IRC and he recommended using the Windows leaf background for the screenshots. I've updated the PR: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/1311#issuecomment-27332727 Sean, look ok?
