Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 334136

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Harald Nikolisin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

Description:

One Workstation (Mac OS X) - several users spoken several languages.

Admin installs en-US package with the possibilty for each user to install his/her own .xpi language package.

Problem:

When the admin itself install another language pack (like de-DE in my case) - I can't no longer update because there are no newer versions found!

Workaround:

I switched back to ...useragent.. = en-US , then a software-update (today it was 2.0.0.6) was found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a arbitrary firefox package (at least on Mac OS X)
2. install for the admin account another .xpi language pack
3. you will never see any update possibilities


Expected Results:  
software update (of the package itself) should be available in every case (wether what language pack was postinstalled)

same on Thunderbird

This is more general than just admin installed langpacks.
