Nightly Autoupdater Installing to Wrong Folder

Post by holy_saiyan1 »

Using Nightly 55.0a1 (2017-05-02) (64-bit), the updater is creating a folder called "updated" when downloading the update, but when I click "Restart to update Nightly," Nightly exits but nothing else happens. Killing the process and opening Nightly shows that no update was applied.

I can reproduce by following these steps:

Open Help/About Nightly, download update
Open C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox, observe folder named "updated" inside

I've filed a Bugzilla report, but no action has been taken on it and no one's tried to diagnose it.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1362763

As of Firefox/55.0 ID:20170522030207, this is still happening.

So you are still on Build ID: 20170502030211?

All of my Firefox's, and Thunderbird's have an updates folder.

In it I see logs, and if I open one I see what the update did.

I have never done a Help > About, then opened the profile folder before applying the update and could be missing something.
