Either I do not understand, or it is utterly unclear how it is meant to work.

So, if you have only one extension, the whole update progress of all extensions
should be the same as the update progress of that extension, shouldn't it? 

However,

> if you have only one extension to update, you immediately see it as 100%.

Why? Until you have not downloaded it, the extension is not updated. How can
the progress be 100% even before the download has begun?

I suspect that the logic you imply is that if you have 2 extensions to update,
the application shows the bar at 50% as soon as the download of the first
extension starts and at 100% as soon as the download of the second extension
starts.

To me, this is just confusing to the user. There are many problems

1) If the downloads are carried out in parallel, then even with 2 extensions to
update the bar goes immediately to 100%.

2) Even if the two downloads are serialized, the behavior seems wrong. The bar
should jump to 50% when the first extension update is installed (that is has
/finished/ download) and to 100% when the second extension has /finished/
installing too.

3) Even better, the bar should track the first download, progressively growing
to 50% while the first extension downloads and installs ant then progressively
growing to 100% as the second extension downloads and installs.

Please, do not close as RESOLVED, NOTABUG, because even if the progress bar
does what it was meant to do, what it was meant to do is not consistent with
what users expect from a /progress/ bar.

If it cannot be fixed easily, I strongly suggesting removing the confusing bar
altogether and leaving just a visual indication that the user has to wait.
