[ovidiu boca[:Ovidiu]]

[Affected versions]:

Nightly Oak build 


[Affected platforms]:
Mac OS X 10.11
Mac OS X 10.10
Mac OS X 10.9

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Have 1 admin user and 1 standard user 
2. Install Nightly using the admin user (from http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2016/04/2016-04-19-10-56-54-oak/firefox-48.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg)
3. Switch to standard user
4. Before starting as standard user in about:config please set the  app.update.url.override pref and be sure that the profile you're using has the auto-update set to manual(check for updates/but let me choose whether to install them).
5. Add string for the above pref: app.update.url.override -> http://people.mozilla.org/~spohl/bug394984/oak/update.xml
6. Check for updates
7. Restart the browser to apply updates
8. Elevated Update: Input the admin credentials
9. Firefox is updated to the version mentioned in http://people.mozilla.org/~spohl/bug394984/oak/update.xml
10. Go to about:config - reset the pref: app.update.url.override
11. Restart Nightly
12. Check for updates (normal update is detected as available).
13. Restart the browser to apply updates
14. Go to about:support "Updated history" and check if the 2 updates are recorded. 

[Expected result]:
In "Updates History" 2 updates are recorded: the override update as specified in XML and the normal update.

[Actual result]:

In "Updates History" only 1 update is recorded.

[Additional notes]:
From the three possible scenarios that can be checked: 
1. admin(install)->user(updates)
2. user1(install)->user2(updates)
3.admin1(install) ->admin2(updates) 
-this issue reproduces only in the first two cases

Hi Ovidiu, now that Oak is back in a consistent state could you double-check this issue? You can close this bug if the issue no longer reproduces. Thanks!

For the moment I can't reproduce this issue, due to this I will close it.
