I still see this with firmware r7790 on Controller. It just says Squeezebox or the player name with a spinny above, it really ought to say updating firmware.

Use "Updating Squeezebox fw" string

This is a trivial fix. Both labels were being named with the variable name and then only one widget was being added to the window. 

Richard, yours for review and then I'll checkin.
