I can confirm that happened to me too.  Was this intentional?  I hope not.

This with 2 separate PR to RC2 updates on separate machines.

Is this still a problem with 1.0 and beyond?

Updating from Firefox 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 did not add the menuitems to the program
root folder. So I don't think this is still a problem.

AFAICT the changed updating system has solved this: Updating from 1.0PR - 1.0RC2
was done by installing several xpi's, while updating from 1.0.1 - 1.0.2 is done
by downloading and running a windows installer file.
