Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1430535

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Attachment: maintenanceservice-7.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180114220708

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox Nightly 59.0a1 (64-bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit) has an update available, as determined either by the regular check for updates or by help -> About Nightly.



Actual results:

This started on the morning of 13-Jan-2018.

I use the Hamburger Menu -> Restart Firefox (automatic internal updater discovered and downloaded the update) or I click on Restart Now (when Help -> About Nightly discovered the update). Firefox shuts down, some activity flashes on the screen, and the Firefox starts up.

However, after the restart the Hamburger Menu shows that a restart is needed, so I end up clicking on Hamburger Menu -> Restart Firefox to update Firefox A SECOND TIME.


Expected results:

Through the night of 12-Jan-2018, only a single restart was needed.
