Steps to reproduce:

Opera/chrome keep the previous update in the default folder under previous(old) version,
so if the new update breaks things users can easily roll back to previous versions.

Firefox should keep the last update too and if something breaks & until re-spins are out,
users can goto about support and go back to previous version and auto updates are set to check after a few hours in which time the re-spins will be available.
