Comment(by gk):
You might want to think about exactly which parts of the bundle you want
to get updated with this updater and which not (if there are some at all).
E.g. what about a user's profile directory? Not messing with it seems
pretty straightforward as it contains user customizations and other user
related stuff that should not get touched by an application updater. But
that implies for instance that the current TBB build process needs to get
changed as there is then no way anymore to just ship the language pack as
an extension with the browser to get a localized build and this implies as
well that one abandons the idea to ship the latest versions of add-ons
included into the browser (e.g. NoScript) only via the updater and only
after their latest changes passed a security review which seems quite
appealing as well. There might be other issues here too like getting
preferences in the prefs.js file updated (dunno if you store some version
numbers there)...
