Please, never use the word "abort" in a user interface. (This is for the
same reason as never using the words "kill" or "execute".) I know it
existed in the alert before this patch, but please, try to eliminate it
rather than repeating it. :-) Also, the patch seems to exchange one
confusion for another: does "Continue" mean continue with the
installation, or continue with the process of quitting?

Instead, I suggest primary text of "Are you sure you want to quit the
installation?", and secondary text of something like "No changes have
been made to the computer yet." (if that's true).

If the "Cancel" button is removed from the installer (as I suggest in
bug 186953), the existing button labels of "Cancel" and "Quit" in this
alert will be fine, because the word "Cancel" will no longer be
associated with quitting the installation. If "Cancel" is retained in
the installer, "Cancel" in this alert could be changed to "Don’t Quit".
