Comment (by mikeperry):
Ok, I took a look at this, and overall it looks good. I have two questions
though:
In browser/installer/removed-files.in, it looks like you deleted
msvcr100.dll. What is the effect of this and why was it done? Does it
exclude that file from removal/update?
In toolkit/mozapps/update/updater/updater.cpp get_valid_path(), it looks
like you allow symlink updates to specify paths in parent directories? Do
we need to be worried about this? Can it be used by a rogue/broken MAR
file to create symlinks outside of the TBB directory?
