Build ID: 20121012030610

Steps to reproduce:

I'm running an Ubuntu Linux 12.04 x86_64 system.

I downloaded nightly from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ (the tar.bz2 file) a week ago.

1.- I uncompressed it and rename the 'firefox' dir to 'firefox64'
2.- I move it to $HOME/.bin
3.- I made a link from /usr/local/bin/firefox -> $HOME/.bin/firefox64/firefox
4.- I use it
5.- When a new nightly shows up, firefox download it (26MB)
6.- Ask to restart, so I restart
7.- Fail with the following msg
    > The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

Permitions in the $HOME/.bin/firefox64/firefox dir are as follows:

I'll be happy to provide more details to help address this issue
