If you attempt to do a Firefox update, the update will hang and complete itself. This only happens though after an extension is installed, but Firefox is not restarted. However, someone might want to update their extensions after installing a new one, and do just one restart to get them all updated/installed, so this should be fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a new extension, WITHOUT RESTARTING 2.Attempt to do a Firefox update 3.Update will hang and not complete its check Actual Results: Update hangs, doesn't complete its update check. Expected Results: Performed the update normally.

(In reply to comment #3) > can anyone reproduce this with a current build? please re-nominate if you can. > thanks. I had wanted to make sure the software update landed before trying it again and posting about it. I can reproduce with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005071106 Installed the Show IP extension, ran the extension update, it would hang at different spots during different tests, but it never fully went through. After restarted for the Show IP extension, extension update ran as normal. Re-nominating per asa's comment.

We need to investigate/fix this before b4 if its reproduceable.

I believe this has been fixed by the patch that landed in bug 299887. I will verify in the next day or two if someone doesn't beat me to it.

It is almost fixed... all it took is two more lines. I have a patch and I'll submit it this weekend.

Benjamin - this calls updateProperty for updateable which was added in bug 299887. This also fixes bug 279564.

oops... I meant to say it also fixes bug 270564. :/

landed on trunk. As long as all callers for extension update use getUpdateableItemList this should no longer be a problem and I verified this using the Extension Manager itself. I'll do a more thorough job verifying this in the next couple of days if someone else doesn't beat me to it. If there are any further problems please file a new bug and assign it to me and I'll fix the call sites.
