Build: 2000032508, MacOS 8.6 To reproduce: * Start the Mac installer. * Select `About Mozilla Installer ...' from the Apple menu. What should happen: * The About box should appear as an app-modal, movable dialog. What actually happens: * The About box appears as a system-modal, non-movable alert (with a red border, which implies an error).

reassigning to Samir.

If I were a mac user i'd probably call this severity:major. helpwanted, this should be simple.

Changing obsolete M20+ milestones to closest equivalent, "Future"

Over to Syd for installer bug triage

In the two years since I filed this bug, Apple has released specific guidelines for About boxes <http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Essentials/ AquaHIGuidelines/AHIGWindows/The_About_Window.html>. It should be a movable non-modal window, with a close box in the title bar and no other controls.

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/xpinstall/wizard/mac/src/EvtHandlers.c&rev=1.24&mark=202#191 would something like -Alert(rAboutBox, nil); +GetNewDialog(rAboutBox, nil, -1); do the trick? (my guess is that'd just create problems, but i'll look into it after i get my build env working)

Mozilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?

Yes, this can be closed. Mac OS 9.x is no longer supported.
