- On Windows, if Firefox is installed to "C:\path\to\Mozilla Firefox",
FIREFOX_NEWwill be "C:\path\to\Mozilla Firefox\updated". :Robert Strong 02:16, 18 October 2011 (PDT) I suspect the rename operation will be faster if the old is renamed toFIREFOX_OLD, the new is renamed toFIREFOX_NEW, andFIREFOX_OLDis then deleted while Firefox is starting.

On Mac, we basically move the Contents directory in the FIREFOX_NEW directory over to the Contents directory in the existing installation, remove the now empty FIREFOX_NEW directory, write "succeeded" to the manifest file, and restart Firefox. :Robert Strong 02:19, 18 October 2011 (PDT) There is also the precomplete file in the root of the bundle.
