Comment:

 Thank you for reporting this problem.  In theory, we modified the Firefox
 updater code to avoid placing things in temporary directories, but we must
 have missed something.  Can you provide steps to reproduce the problem?
 Is the temporary directory the one that $TMPDIR points to or is it another
 location?

 The only reference to "bgupdate" that I can find in the code is in
 toolkit/xre/nsUpdateDriver.cpp, and in Tor Browser the code in that file
 has been modified to place the UpdateInfo directory under .../Tor
 Browser.app/TorBrowser/UpdateInfo/
