Firefox suggests installing updates to just uninstalled extensions

Go into a the Extension manager and uninstall an Extension. It now says that the
extension will be uninstalled the next time firefox restarts. Now press the
Update button. Firefox now suggest installing an update to an extension that I
just uninstalled, which is wrong.

I believe this has been fixed by the patch that landed in bug 299887. I will
verify in the next day or two if someone doesn't beat me to it.

The patch in bug 262373 fixes this.

bug 262373 landed on trunk and this is now fixed. As long as all callers for
extension update use getUpdateableItemList this should no longer be a problem
and I verified this using the Extension Manager itself. I'll do a more thorough
job verifying this in the next couple of days if someone else doesn't beat me to
it. If there are any further problems please file a new bug and assign it to me.
