Great job, Mozilla. Firefox downloads updates and tells me to restart to finish installation. I do. It says it can't complete the installation. So I "switch user" to an administrative account. No such message from Firefox. Reboot. Same deal. Login as an administrator again. Finally force the update from the Tools menu, and it's working.

Get a clue, guys. People smart enough to use your browser are also probably smart enough to not surf the web logged into an administrative account. Either enable the updates to be installed into %APPDATA% or don't prompt a non-administrative user to install them. Got it? Good.
