Bug Description

When I visit a web page for which an integration package is _available_ but not installed, I see a message bubble like this:

integration script available unity-webapps-tumblr
[Install]

Letter case and is reproduced as printed.

There are a few problems with this dialog. First, of course, it is all lower case. More importantly, it uses jargon that is not interesting to an end user: the words "integration", "script", and a package name. The message does not explain to a new user why they should care, and it doesn't really justify entering one's password after clicking "Install."

It would save time to fix bug 1059573 at the same time as this bug.
