[Bug 369012] [NEW] Firefox instability after security update, before restart

[Steven McCoy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The notification mechanism for Firefox background security updates is
not sufficiently obvious to users.  In Jaunty a dialog box appears
stating restart is required but no details of the consequences if not
taken.  If the request is ignored or hidden under various windows the
user may not be aware or have forgotten about the action.

The Firefox window should be modified itself to alert the user of its
now limited function state, preferably with some steps taken to limit
the actions the user can take or make it more obvious when errors occur
instead of actions like navigation to pages or creating new tabs just
silently fail.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
