Note: the code that caused this was added for the update hotfix so we can support installing without removing the distribution dir for repacks such as the eu-ballot

Tracking for 38.0.5 was requested so I suspect this needs uplifting to release for the 38.0.5 release. Sylvestre, can you clarify?

Verified fixed with 38.0.5 beta 3 EME free build (Build ID: 20150518141916), under Windows 7 64-bit - distribution folder is correctly removed.

[Ada [:adalucinet]]

Verified fixed with 39.0b4 EME free build 2 (Build ID: 20150609130336), under Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 32-bit.

Removing qe-verify+ since this was already verified on Firefox 38.0.5 and 39.

[Petruta Horea [:phorea], Desktop QA]

Reproduced with Firefox 38 RC build 3 under Win 7 64-bit.
There are no repack builds for ESR, so I installed 38.1esr build over a regular 38 repack build and the distribution folder was correctly removed. Marking as verified.
