As explained in the bugzilla issue, its the install/update script that 
does not manage running Firefox at the same time upgrading it. So I'd 
say its the firefox package that has got an issue. Please don't take me 
wrong, I don't want to blame anything/anyone, I just want to make sure 
you know about problems if there are any. My issue was confirmed by 
several people, including you (kind of, your symptoms seem to be 
slightly different).

Regards,

Andreas
