* From Asa: Waiting 24 or 36 hours before updating prompt. I think this would be a simple patch to change that value and I'd try to get this into 8 still. Would need a patch ASAP though. Security's already said they're OK lengthening it. | * From Asa: Waiting 24 or 36 hours before updating prompt.

** After Rob approves today need release drivers to approve. | |||
** Change to 24 hours approved by security. | |||
* Patch applies to all branches. Concern that doing this on nightly is not a good thing to do. Do this on Aurora, Beta, and release. Tim has resubmitted a patch that excludes nightly. | |||

* Request from Asa: For Windows users | * Request from Asa: For Windows users applying a partial update, at least, the update on launch dialog could be hidden for most users I think. It's only a few seconds and I'd like to see if we could change this to not show unless more than 3 or 4 seconds have passed. If this is a trivial patch, I'd try to get it into 9. | ||
** Rob: partials take longer than completes. Completes are very quick. | |||
** Need to understand what is a long time. Have a concern about a slow piece of hardware as well. Pull in Limi to find out how long is too long. | |||
** Telemetry doesn't apply as this is outside of the application. | |||
** Chris will follow up and create feature page. | |||
