Why must the update reminder fill the whole screen with a mostly empty pop up? Can't it be done in a neater way than this prehistoric 80's style prompt??

So I'm procrastinating .. maybe I'm busy? .. or perhaps I want to get reviews before clicking the 'update' button into the unknown! But with all of the 'great' GUI designers behind Firefox, the Update reminder looks like a slap in the face when you are busy working! Its a mostly empty block designed to just annoy, more than inform!

Why cant the update notification be smaller? .. better yet a balloon or a button that appears on the tab? .. endless possibilities.. But nooo .. the big, ugly and empty pop up is too-cool retro to change or update into something better!

What do you think guys? .. time to look into it?

There are some projects to improve the update experience, but they are a few versions out. All I can suggest is to stay up to date.


Closing as this isn't a request for support.
