262637 - Updating to Firefox 0.10.1 through software update as root user does not clear update button for non-root / normal user in Linux

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262558

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[David Grant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040929 Firefox/0.10 StumbleUpon/1.998
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040929 Firefox/0.10 StumbleUpon/1.998

I ran firefox as root and installed the patch to 0.10.1 successfully because of
course it didn't work as normal user which is fine.

It seemed to install fine, but when I restarted firefox as a normal user, the
red button is still there.  And it still wants me to install the patch to 0.10.1
as well as quality feedback and developer and inspector.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to 0.10.1 as root in Linux by clicking on the red button etc...
2. Restart firefox as normal user
3. Notice red button

Actual Results:  
Red button is there, firefox still wants to install the upgrade

Expected Results:  
Red button shouldn't be there, upgrade should be installed.

NOTE: not sure if the problem is that the update wasn't installed successfully
as root, or if the problem is that the normal user's prefs don't know that.  The
update appeared to install correctly when I installed as root, but who knows if
it actually did.

This is similar to bug #262558 "Patch that upgrades to 0.10.1 installs with
wrong permissions"

I agree that this bug is similar to Bug #262558, perhaps a dupe.

Can you please import the subject line keywords from this bug into bug #262558
since the subject line of that bug isn't so hot.
