The calendar installer should ask the user if they want to restart the browser.
 Currently, it's a two-step process that isn't automatic.  Also, the installer
should check if the version is already installed, and ask if the user really
wants to reinstall.



Reproducible: Always

These sounds like issues that would be more properly addressed by the FF, TB, or MozSuite extension 
handlers.  They guide the install process, so there isn't much calendar can do.  However, there's been a 
lot of talk about reforming the extension handlers, but I don't know what the specific changes are/will 
be.

Something somewhat like this is being discussed for firefox in bug 218947.  Especially see bug 252737 
that was marked as a duplicate of that one.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
