Has the Update problem noted in bug #662677 been fixed? If not, will it

The documentation, I am unsure if it is fixed. But you should not need
to worry about that.
If you mean the "Extensions installed on updates..." no it has not been
fixed, will not be for 2.1.
We *may* fix it, but I think the solution will be more of a "mark
extension [x] disabled if you don't want it" rather than "don't stuff
into application folder", since we now push the extensions to the
profile anyway.
Which means that if you install 2.1 from scratch, including these
extensions, run once, and then uninstall, and re-install without the
extensions, you'll then STILL have those extensions in your profile,
since they install to profile on first launch.
No. I meant the ability to update from a LOCAL .mar file. See the bug
report at<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662677> and read
the comments, especiall starting at #13.
While the bug report itself is closed because the Wiki documentation has
been updated, the procedures did not work to update SM 2.1RC1 to
SM2.1RC2 using the partial .mar file. I had expected a new SeaMonkey
bug report on this, but none has appeared yet.
Re-Read my answer.
The complete.mar works, the partial.mar will give you errors if you
don't install certain optional extensions. (in a production version of
SeaMonkey that downloads the updates itself, you'll get the complete mar
when the partial fails).
If you did install all optional files, then the partial works.
I won't be changing the way the partial is generated here.
