Used Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.4

Firefox was set not to automatically check for updates so it shouldn't have done that.

This can happen if Firefox is launched with a different profile that doesn't have that setting or if the download has already started before changing the setting.

Please try to reproduce this bug report by installing Firefox 4.0.1.
