if you accidentally install 2 copies of IE view 0.8 then the next time you 
start Firefox it will just sit at Finishing Installing Extensions... until you 
start it up in safe mode and unistall the one.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install 1 copy of IE view .8
2.exit so it can finish installing
3.come back in and go get the extension again
4.exit
5.open up firefox again and it will sit there.

Actual Results:  
sat at Finishing Installing Extentions every time I opened up Firefox without 
going to safe mode.

Expected Results:  
prevent the second instalation so that this doesn't accidentally happen again.

Do you have a link to the specific version of the extension you reproduced this
bug with? I am unable to reproduce it with IEView 0.8 (beta) from
update.mozilla.org or with IEView 0.81 from the author's site, though upgrading
from 0.8 (beta) to 0.81 triggers Bug 246687.

i did this with the one on the mozilla site, I'll have to check when I get off
from work to see what version I have. I was pretty sure it was when I installed
this, but there was another item that said will install on next time and I think
its said that for a couple of times before it locked up on opening.
