Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 249015

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[J.P.Klippel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.8

After installation of 0.9.0 firefox displayed a message about an update being
available for installation. I installed the 0.9.1 version of firefox but the
message and the corresponding icon in the right lower corner of the browser
window still remains. Even after the installation of 0.9.2 firefox still insists
that I should update to 0.9.1.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 0.9.0
2. check for software update icon
3. install 0.9.1
4. check for software update icon

Actual Results:  
The software update icon still suggests an update to 0.9.1.

Expected Results:  
The software update icon should not appear and the software update agent should
state the software to be uptodate.

It's the worest bugs, I have seen since I switched to firefox i thought the
update for .0.2 would help was a waste of internet bandwitch but handy. I think
firefox will see a lot of minor updates before the major 1.0.0. The same steps
reproduce the bug.

This is a problem with 0.9, 0.9.1 and 0.9.2, which identify themselves
internally as 0.9 to avoid breaking extensions. But
update.mozilla.org/update.rdf said (for a short time) that 0.9.1 was available.
This was bug 249015.
See bug 249015 comment 46 on how to stop being notified.

By the way, Software Update has been fixed as well in the meantime, bug 245953.
