Details
* TITLE/SUMMARY
Disabled buttons remain highlighted during installation
* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch the Mozilla Installer
1) Proceed through the installer until you reach the "Install" button.
2) Press the "Install" button.
* RESULT
- What happened
Neither the "Go Back" or "Install" buttons disable, despite being buttons that
the user can no longer press.
- What was expected
I think there's a deeper question of what the user would _want_ to do at this
point --- e.g. rather than simply disable the buttons in question:
* the MindVision VISE installer, at this point, pops up a new progress
window, with the only button being "Stop".
* the Apple installer also pops up a new modal progress window, with the
only button being "Cancel".
* REGRESSION
- Occurs On
Mozilla Installer 11.15.99 build
- Doesn't Occur On
MindVision Installer VISE (from Communicator 4.7 installer)
Mac OS Installer (from Mac OS 8.1)
* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED
- [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM
used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6
- [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5.
- [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM. Red Hat Linux 6.0 (GNOME).

We considered putting a "Stop" button in place of the "Install" button and
hiding the "Go Back" button altogether once installation of the .xpis commences.
However, it is currently not possible to stop midway through a .xpi installation
(architectural constraint of calling the XPInstall shared lib synchronously).
So, we have two cosmetic options. I seek a vote.
1> Disable both buttons
2> Hide both buttons
I'm leaning towards option 1, which is the summary of this bug alludes to
anyways.

Unfortunately, I don't have a meaningful opinion as to which is better, and defer
to sfraser.
