Relevant Bugs:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383518 - Non-Vista Windows users are prompted for updates they cannot apply
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303595 - updates under windows as non-administrator user not possible
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375710#c60->For more detail about why going through the registry matters
*https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375710->But as of 2.0.0.4, with bsmedberg's fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375710, we should be putting the update files in <UserLocalDataDir>\updates\<relative path to app dir from Program Files> if application dir is under C:\Program Files\.... (If you aren't installing under C:\Program Files\..., we should be putting the update files along side the app like we used to.
