User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

When you start up Firefox 1.5b2, It gives the opportunity to update your out of
date extensions. However, when you check one, and update it, clicking Finish on
that process immediately starts firefox, instead of returning to the original
list and allowing you to update the others.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox with multiple outdated extensions installed.
2. Pick one to check for an update.
3. Update, and Finish.
Actual Results:  
Firefox starts, instead of returning to the menu of extensions that need an update.

Expected Results:  
It should have returned to the menu so that you can update your other extensions
prior to starting up Firefox.

All out of date extensions are selected by default. If you choose to only check
for updates on one of them then you can open the extension manager and check for
updates to them at that point. Perhaps there shouldn't be an option to select
which ones to check for updates to in the wizard which would have then prevented
this.

I just realized the summary is different than comment #0. You can update
extensions from the extension manager after startup... just select tools -
extensions - find updates button. If that is the problem then this is the
solution. I personally don't think the wizard should go back since
a) the default is to check all extensions
b) wizards that start over tend to be confusing (e.g. finish should actually finish)
c) there is a way to check for updates after startup.

Resolving invalid - if you de-select extensions to check for updates they won't
be checked for updates. If you don't de-select then they are checked. You can
also check for updates after startup in the Extension Manager.
