[Bug 677815]

[Reşat SABIQ]

I ran into a related issue and logged bug 701631.

I'd appreciate your feedback on the following:
i. Has the fix from comment 16 been included in Firefox 8?
ii. Is the following statement correct based on fix referred to in comment 16?
Even if there's a remote version of the lang pack that is compatible with the upgraded app (say 7.0 upgraded to 8.0), then it will NOT be downloaded, and steps 1., 2., 3. from comment 16 will still be performed.
iii. (In reply to Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) from comment #10)

Is buildid idea something that's happening or not? From the install.rdf viewpoint i'm only aware of minVersion and maxVersion. Will they be sufficient in the foreseeable future? Just curious how this buildid idea could affect a lang pack like the following, for instance:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/QIRIMTATARCA-til-destesi/

P.S. If the answer to question ii. above is yes, i think it's really not
user-friendly. In the best case scenario, the user'd have to get another
addon update prompt some time later and re-start. I hope the answer is
no, cause non-lang-pack addons are updated during an app upgrade, and it
should work the same for langpacks IMHO.
