Trying to pave-over install Firefox while Firefox is already running always leaves behind a to_be_deleted folder

Steps:
1. Install firefox with the stub installer and launch it
2. Install firefox again with the stub install while firefox is already running
Expected:
A prompt should appear indicating that firefox is already running. Upon closing it, if I launch firefox, then I should get the latest bits from the install I just did. There should be no to_be_deleted folder left behind in the installation directory.
Actual:
The to_be_deleted folder gets left behind after completing the installation (prompt dismissed and firefox launched).

Confirmed on Vista, XP, and Win 7 btw. This is regression also.

There is no way to delete files in use on Windows without restarting the OS. The files in the directory and the directory itself will be deleted on OS restart.
We do this with the stub instead of asking the user to restart the OS and it isn't a regression since this is behavior we wanted.
