I don't want to nitpick, but isn't the application also contained in the 
package?

Actually, I prefer restarting Firefox to having to manually remove 
.mozilla after an update. Also, this issue is not documented (for 
example a message box that explains the problem when updating), so 
non-powerusers will be left with a non-functional web browser.
