 Does your step 7 only run the updater manually (i.e.,
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Manually_Installing_a_MAR_file)
 or does an update.xml file (from step 5) get downloaded and placed inside
 updates.xml where the browser expects to find it?  In other words, does
 your procedure update the update history?  If not, the "showURL" action
 won't be found.  See http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr38/source/browser/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js#148 (the
 getPostUpdateOverridePage() function).
