I have noticed with the 1.0 series of Firefox that the autoupdate mechanism
downloads a new Firefox installer and spawns it without removing the previous
version. Since it starts the installer with removing the prior version, multiple
Firefox installer instances exist within the list and cannot ever be removed.
