Bug Description
When the Dapper updates finished, I was presented with an alert saying:
------------
Update information
There is some post-update information available. Please read the following messages carefully.
Firefox restart required
Firefox has been upgraded (or reinstalled) and must be restarted. Please quit and restart your web browser now.
( Close )
-------------
This can be heavily shortened, vastly increasing the number of people who will read it. The intro paragraph in particular is counter-productive. All that is needed is:
------------
Firefox has been upgraded. You must restart Firefox before using it further.
(( OK ))
------------
