(Toolkit :: Application Update, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921

Firefox 1.5 features "update packages" that replace only the parts affected by updates. That's good. However Firefox gets them automatically from the Internet.
For an Intranet the admin might want to provide updates in a way that browsers update them selves, or maybe the admin just want to provide a smaller download.
There's no information on how to do this, but there should be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Fireeox 1.5
2. Have an update available
3. Want to upgrade in Intranet

Actual Results:  
No documentation found on how to get the update file (not full installer), and what to do with the update file in an Intranet.

Expected Results:  
Have documentation on how to get Intranet machines updated
