285413 - Installing and update problems going from Firefox 1.0 to 1.0.1

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 247884

(Firefox :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Emil Heinze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier:  (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1, i think...

When installing a new version of Firefox on Windows XP (regardless of version, 
I think), the old one is not uninstalled. It seems that your installer just 
puts in a new Firefox instead of updating the old. I thought that I could just 
uninstall the old one, but that just removed Firefox from my computer, so I had 
to download it again in IE. I think it'd be a great idea, if you made 
an "updater" along with the installer, because there's always problems when 
going to a new version on Windows XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install older Firefox
2.Install newer Firefox
3.Tadaa!

Actual Results:  
I had two versions on my computer (or so it seemed...)

Expected Results:  
Update Firefox 1.0 to 1.0.1, removing the old, leaving only the new version in 
the registry database.
