After installing Firefox 2.0 RC3, it immediately began updating to Firefox 2.0 RC2 for some reason. Then it prompted me to restart Firefox now or later. Obviously, a bug with the updating system.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Before you apply that RC2 update, please attach the files
  <firefox_install_dir>\updates\last-update.log
  <firefox_install_dir>\updates.xml
to this bug.

Note that I updated from a fresh install of RC 1 directly to RC 3. After installing RC 3 back over the new "updated" RC 2, nothing happens. Therefore, I'm going to try to uninstall Firefox entirely and then freshly install RC 1 and then update to RC 3. Then I'll attach those files.

I am not able to reproduce this bug...after uninstalling fully and installing RC 1 then updating to RC 3 and starting Firefox, it does not update down. It must just be a freak incident...
