[Noah Meek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When i run the updater in preferences, it detects, downloads, and says it installs  
(the extensions updated request that you restart the browser) updates but when
the browser is restarted the extensions aren't updated and when the updater is
run again the old updates are displayed along with any other updates released in
the mean time (it took me a few days to notice the problem).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto Advanced in preferences
2.Click check now
3.Select updates to install
4.Install updates and restart
5.Repeat 1 and 2 to see the same updates

Actual Results:  
The updates are the same, and the extensions keep their old version numbers

Expected Results:  
Running the updater again shows no available updates an the version in the
extensions menu is changed

Manual downloads of extensions or new releases (ex. 0.10-0.10.1) change the
version numbers and updates available.
