If we install the developer tools on demand, is there a risk of it being
an issue that the user doesn't have sufficient permissions to install them?

Done:

is there a tracking flag or bug I should add to it, to not forget it?

Nice, the "are we ... yet" meme is continuing! :)

(I myself have set up arewestableyet.com recently - still somewhat in
prototype mode, in case anyone wonders)

I think we use 7-Zip / LZMA? to compress the installer. LZMA2 has
recently been released [1] but requires 7-Zip to be updated.

Not only that, we've had regressions associated with updating 7-Zip too,
but its bug number currently eludes me.

The Chrome download is much larger than ours; is that hurting them at all?

I've been poking at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641212
to add xz support to the updater. We can shave at least 10% off the
partial/complete update using xz compression instead of bz2.
