Project/Feature Name: Firefox Updates Add-on Hotfix
Tracking  ID:928173
Description:
We are going to be developing and launching an add-on hotfix that will attempt to both help fix and find more details on the reasons that prevent Firefox users from updating to the latest version. This hotfix will do two things:

1. Prompt all users of Firefox version 10 and up (excepting current version and ESR) that their version of Firefox is out of date and give them the ability to download the full installer to workaround any updater bugs.
2. Ask users if they would like to privde a copy of their update logs to mozilla for us to analyze. The files will be (Quoting from Bug 928173): "In the update directory, active-update.xml, updates.xml, updates/backup-update.log, updates/last-update.log, and updates/0/update.log if they exist for the updater."

We shipped and deployed this version of the Hotfix last year. Future versions were released but are tracked in other bugs.
