+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1728339 +++
After bug 1728339 landed, I am seeing the DMG detection not work intermittently. It appears to work the first time Firefox is launched from the DMG, but then tends to fail 4 out of 5 times before the prompt to install appears again.
STR:
- Download Nightly.
- Open the .dmg
- Double click the "Firefox Nightly" icon in the .dmg folder.
- If the "Install Firefox" dialog appears, select "Don't Install"
- Close Firefox
- Repeat steps 3-5.
Expected results:
There should be a modal dialog prompting you to install every time that Firefox is launched from the DMG.
Actual results:
A regular Firefox window opens with no prompt to install approximately 4 times out of 5 after the dialog was shown a first time. There may be a timing related component to this. It is conceivable that the dialog will show more frequently if Firefox is not closed and restarted at a quick pace.

This is due to the mProfileSvc->GetIsFirstRun() check. This check only triggers if this launch of Firefox caused a new profile to be created. See bug 1728530 comment 2 for more details.
