Title:
  Unhelpful message bubble when offering to install an integration
  script

Status in unity-firefox-extension package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When I visit a web page for which an integration package is
  _available_ but not installed, I see a message bubble like this:

  integration script available unity-webapps-tumblr
  [Install]

  Letter case and is reproduced as printed.

  There are a few problems with this dialog. First, of course, it is all
  lower case. More importantly, it uses jargon that is not interesting
  to an end user: the words "integration", "script", and a package name.
  The message does not explain to a new user why they should care, and
  it doesn't really justify entering one's password after clicking
  "Install."

  It would save time to fix bug 1059573 at the same time as this bug.
