> This is probably also a bug in Firefox although I did not find a bug
report at bugzilla.mozilla.org. There is a "Connecting to the update
server…" message that is shown initially and presumably it is not supposed
to be changed until the download size is known.

> Are you able to reproduce this reliably? On what OS? I have seen this in
the past (but not recently) and I was not able to reproduce it with a
6.0.4 to 6.0.5 update. From a quick read of the code, I would say it tries
to avoid division by zero, but there are enough layers of code that I am
not 100% sure (divide by zero does seem like the most likely root cause of
this).
I am on OS X. I am also on networks where latency is high (~100-500ms), so
that could be a factor.
I'll see if I can replicate the issue with Tor Browser 6.0.4 -> 6.0.5.
