Details

STR:

1. Open firefox.
2. Run an xulapp on firefox (firefox -app c:\prism\application.ini f.e.).
3. Detect an update in firefox, download and restart.

At this point the firefox instance restarts, applys the update and runs firefox.

The prism instance is now running on a changed runtime to that it started on.

I attempted this twice, the first time prism just stopped responding to input and eventually crashed, the second time it kind of worked except all js in the website appeared to fail.

When applying the automatic update we should be checking that another instance of firefox running a xulapp isn't already running and not apply the update if that is the case.
