I just uninstalled an extension (didn't restart) and when I clicked the check for updates the extension which before said "will be uninstalled when restart" now says "there's an update available" when you uninstall an extension the extension should be marked as "dont check for updates" untill the user restarts firefox

I just checked with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051018 Firefox/1.4.1 ID:2005101805 and extensions that will be uninstalled on restart weren't checked. I fixed that a while ago and unless it regressed it shouldn't be checking. What build are you using?

ok found my problem. the situation is a bit strange. I have two version of the slashy extension installed. The slashy extension changed GUID between two versions. So I uninstalled the old slashy (didn't restart) and pressed the update button now firefox checkes for updates but it checked both the old slashy (the uninstalled) and the new slashy and mark the old slashy as having an update. Not sure if this can be fixed or it's a wontfix

Nothing comes to mind that would cause this to happen under those circumstances but if you provide test xpi's along with steps to reproduce then the underlying cause could be looked into.

I am still unable to reproduce. I'd be interested in where the code is failing for this even though it is an edge case but steps to reproduce that work, etc. are needed to take this bug any further. :(

I was once able to reproduce but not since. Something might have changed.
