Clarify wording in dialog about unsupported file types which mentions Firefox and Firefogg
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The problem is that the text of popup is not clear:

The text say: "You can install Firefogg (a Firefox extension) to automatically convert your file." -> no i can't i have chrome :(

It should say: "if you are on mozilla firefox browser, you can install Firefogg extension ..."
"If you have another browser, ..."

the way it is said is important. Imagine :

  • people don't know firefox,
  • people don't know that firefox is the same as mozilla,
  • people think "hey perhaps i could install a module firefox on chrome", "perhaps i can use a firefox extension with any browser",
  • "i don't know what is firefox extension, but if it proposed to me, it is because i can (it is written "you can")".

i understand it is the same popup for any browser, but if so it need to be clear. (or a popup different per browser).

I have to say, I think it's almost as clear as it needs to be.

The only thing I think is actually relevant that you suggested (sort of), is that we change the message to include a link to Firefox as well as Firefogg.

But, it's not a high priority for me.
