780452 - Chemspills for subsequent major releases installed without asking when "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" chosen

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317703

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect, P3)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

(Filing as unconfirmed, since I haven't confirmed this myself. Based entirely on a comment on Slashdot.)

Steps a to reproduce (based on http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3026683&cid=40880421 ):
1) When running Firefox n, set the Firefox update preference to "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them"
2) Wait for Firefox n+1.0 To be released and unthrottled.
3) Decline the update to Firefox n+1.0 when prompted
4) Wait for Firefox n+1.0.1 chemspill
5) Keep running and quitting Firefox until itself-updates to n+1.0.1
6) Look at the update log

Actual results:
The n+1.0.1 chemspill release got installed over version n without an opportunity to choose whether to install it despite the user setting.

Expected results:
Expected the "let me choose whether to install them" pref to mean what it says and give the user the opportunity to choose whether to install chemspills.
