[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

[obiazzi]

Alexander worote:
" *   Screenshot: proposed about:rights (default)  (75.4 KiB, image/png)"

IMHO, it is disrespectful to Ubuntu users to present an "Agreement" as
"Agreed" by *default* ( as one can see in the mockup attached ).

Solutions:

i) don't call it "Agreement" ( suggestion: call it "Important
disclaimer" )

ii) call it "Agreement" but require the user to *agree* the conditions
to turn them on (*)

(*) for example, the first time that you navigate certain pages, Firefox
popups security messages with a "don't show this the next time" check
box marked.

In a similar way, after navigating a couple of pages, Firefox could
popup the message:

"Firefox 3 provides a poerful antiphising service that can protect you
from the bad guys , blah blah blah ... Do you wan't to enable it?"

If the user answer yes, then FF should display the [in]famous agreement
that the user should *positevely* *agree*.

And every one happy.
