[Bug 36739] Re: MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running

[Alexander Sack]

Quick status update.

Good news is that we have made progress. The light bulb is really
something that never worked good enough; we improved the situation
through ubufox. We disaplay a "restart notification bar" on top if you
upgrade while running. Hitting the restart button usually works.
Unfortunately there are still cases where even that restart button
doesn't work. So its not yet the complete solution.

One idea to continue from here would probably be to set firefox into
some kind of upgrade mode from outside (maybe through dbus or otherwise
through XRemoteClient facility) when a system upgrade starts. This mode
would not load new chrome or components that are not in memory yet and
instead could ask the user to wait (till upgrade has finished) and
finally restart (after upgrade has finished).

Not a simple task though ...
