I agree that these two buttons can be misleading, that's why I added a hint message in the first (welcome) step and also tool tips (on mouse hover) but I guess they can be easily overlooked. I'm open to change their labels. One of the reasons I didn't use a multi word label is because it doesn't look good in upper case, and that's the style we use on buttons.. Caty had a few ideas on how to replace these two buttons with something more intuitive but I wasn't fully convinced :) I'm sure she's eager to show them to you. > > 2) During the second step, the extensions that are incompatible but do not > have a potential update seems to not be listed.

Me and Thomas talked about putting this in a separate step, the "clean up" step, where the user can view and uninstall extensions that are no longer supported (are invalid and don't have upgrades available). We decided to leave this steps for later since the 4.2 release was already delayed. > > WDYT ?
