depend on 32499. Found in today's 3/20 beta1 commercial build
This depends on XPIStub interpreting return values from our callbacks. Adding bug 22194 as a dependee. Scheduling for M17.

No, there should still be a Cancel button in the installer, even if you can't cancel the actual download/copying process, to just close the installer before you get to the start of the download/copying. It would do the same as selecting File > Quit does now. There should probably be a Close box on the Installer window, too, for the same purpose. Any of these quit actions should bring up a dialog saying `Are you sure you want to cancel the installation?'.

No, this isn't a dup of 22194: 22194 covers cancelling during the actual copying of files, whereas this bug (as far as I can tell) covers cancelling the installation before the copying begins. As such, both the dependencies of this bug seem spurious and should be removed.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
Removing irrelevant dependencies (bug 22194 is covering the cancel-during-copying issue), clarifying summary. At the moment, it seems to the user as if -- once you get past the license agreement -- there is no way of exiting the installer. (You can choose `File' > `Quit', but that's not at all obvious.) That's why we need a `Cancel' button.
Summary: Mac Installer: No cancel install button → Mac installer should have `Cancel' button at every step
