Nominating.  This needs to be fixed or Mac users will not be able to 
successfully update to a new point release from website.  This has nothing to do 
with updating from 6.0/6.01.

Bug 84236 blocks this one.  But you can get around by installing each xpi 
package one by one simulating a "normal" update.html.

Curt, were these patches ever applied? Looks like they need reviewing, so I'd
expect not. Maybe you can work on getting these landed?
