The following request came from mozilla devs concerning this issue: If you can get the user's last-update.log it will show whether or not the update found / failed to remove these files. The last-update.log is in the users profile in the local appdata directory (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA% on Vista and above) under Mozilla\Firefox\<install directory name which is typically 'Mozilla Firefox'>\updates
If you can post this file to the bug I will forward it. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=2929 jjb On Mar 16, 3:56 pm, Mav <[email protected]> wrote: > Great to hear the source of the problem has been found.
