Fx3 does not allow global extensions updates
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Windows Vista with 2 accounts: administrative and an ordinary user.
Firefox 3.5.0 from fx.yandex.ru with Yandex.Bar 4.2.0 ("app-global" extension).
Under administrator account:
1. Install Firefox with Yandex.Bar extension bundled (should work with any global extension)
2. Check updates availability:
a) "Help" -> "Check for Updates..." menu item - enabled
b) "Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Extensions" -> "Яндекс.Бар 4.2.0":
* Extension's "Uninstall" button - enabled
* Extension's "Uninstall" and "Find Update" context menu items - enabled
3. Close Firefox.
4. Log Off
Log in as an ordinary user:
1. Start Firefox
2. Check updates availability:
a) "Help" -> "Check for Updates..." menu item - disabled (this is okay, no write permission)
b) "Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Extensions" -> "Яндекс.Бар 4.2.0":
* Extension's "Uninstall" button - disabled (NOT okay)
* Extension's "Uninstall" and "Find Update" context menu items - disabled (NOT okay)
3. Close Firefox.
4. Log Off
Log in as admin:
1. Start Firefox
2. Global extension (Yandex.Bar) update GUI triggers are disabled same as for the ordinary user (NOT okay).
Actual Results:
No way to update global extension. Firefox won't check for updates automatically too.
Expected Results:
Both profiles should be able to install newer extension version (at least to their profiles' directories).
