When updating an installed plugin, the following error message appears after
downloading completes:
"Firefox could not download <filename>.xpi because: Restart to complete"

This error message is wrong, because the download was successfull, only a
restart is needed. A "normal" user could be irritated by this message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a plugin (.xpi)
2. Update the plugin with InstallTrigger.install, while the plugin is shown on
the same page.

Actual Results:  
The error message appears: "Firefox could not download <filename>.xpi because:
Restart to complete"

Expected Results:  
A message like "Download successfull. Restart browser to complete installation."
should appear.
