It's not possible to tell the difference between installs that use an AddonInstall object, and those that do not (ie, only send onInstalling and onInstalled); other than checking against all known AddonInstall objects.

This may warrent a new event. Or possibly re-using onNewInstall as:
onNewInstall(null, Addon);
To clarify: This makes the onInstalling event mean two different things (progressing through an install vs starting a new install), with no non-hacky way of telling them apart.

This is blocking fully supporting the search-engine and lightweight themes providers.
Blocks: 553515
I've added an additional parameter to the onInstalling event which caries either the AddonInstall responsible for the install or null if there is none. It comes before the requiresRestart parameter so slightly breaks the API but I think it's the better choice and we're still early enough to do that.

The changes for the search service shouldn't really be in this patch, it'll get covered eventually in bug 552747.

Should have really read "detect if it is an update and act accordingly" and I've just done it so if you want to re-skim over that bit, that is the only change.

Cancel that, looks like I fixed it in bug 553113 anyway. Too many patches...
