I was definitely wrong about the installation path. I thought Normandy-installed addons used the normal addon update mechanism, but of course if we did a pref flip the problem would be resolved anyway

I was definitely wrong about the installation path. I thought Normandy-installed addons used the normal addon update mechanism, but of course if we did a pref flip the problem would be resolved anyway  (I was thinking of Test-Pilot, which did have its installs fail but that is because it was a web page using `InstallTrigger` and very different from Normandy).
