Details

Based on the discussion on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598830 when calling onExternalInstall and providing it with existingAddon = addon, where `addon` is the addon being replaced, the details for the addon at about:addons are not updated.

If the user is on the details page for the addon being update then nothing happens, but the details should be updated. If the user is on the list view page then the addon that should be replaced is not removed, and the new addon is displayed, so there are multiple/duplicate items listed for the same addon.
