This is only true for the Firefox checkbox, right? I can unclick and re-click Add-Ons and Search Engines since Synaptic doesn't handle those. I can confirm that much as a usability bug. |

Binary package hint: firefox
I am using Ubuntu version 8.04.1 with Firefox 3 (updated as of 28 Sep 2008) and the "Preferences>Advanced>Update" options are not disabled initially. Once any of the options are unchecked, the corresponding field will gray-out and become inaccessible. Since these update options should be handled by Synaptic, it appears they should show disabled within Firefox and be grayed-out the first time they are viewed. With the way the options page works currently, there is no way to know which program is actually handling the updates. |
Summary: Updates handled by Synaptic are not greyed out in Firefox's preferences
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Edit -> Preferences
2. Go to the Advanced section
3. Go to the Updates tab
4. Uncheck Firefox
Expected Result:
Firefox checkbox and what it disables should have been disabled to begin with because Firefox doesn't handle its own updates (Synaptic does)
Actual Result:
Firefox checkbox and its corresponding options are only disabled after user manually unchecks it.
