Replying to [comment:1 mcs]:
> Thank you for reporting this problem. In theory, we modified the
Firefox updater code to avoid placing things in temporary directories, but
we must have missed something. Can you provide steps to reproduce the
problem?
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it.
>Is the temporary directory the one that $TMPDIR points to or is it
another location?
I don't know, I only found the files after the OS moved them to the Trash
after a restart. For general info on "Recovered Files" on OS X, see
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18793?locale=en_US
As a guess, the files may have been in /tmp, $TMPDIR, or under the
/private/var/folders hierarchy.
> The only reference to "bgupdate" that I can find in the code is in
toolkit/xre/nsUpdateDriver.cpp, and in Tor Browser the code in that file
has been modified to place the UpdateInfo directory under .../Tor
Browser.app/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/
I really can't say, but the only way they could have been moved to the
Trash by the OS was if they were in a temporary directory (not the app
directory).
