> The progress bar is pointless when it has only one or two states (50%/100%).

Even worse than that. It has states that are reached /before/ the slow phase of
a long-lasting action is completed rather than /after/ it, as it would be
expected.

> We should remove it and just show the hourglass cursor

Agreed, until a better solution can be implemented.

> Of course the better solution is to take the total bytes to download plus the time to install into account and have a real progress bar.

Agreed. Probably the total bytes to download would be more than enough.

> But even better is to not bother the user with technical details and just inform after the upgrade has been done.

The issue here is that there are some extensions that are really quite large.
E.g.  LanguageTool is 76 MB. On a slow connection their download can take
several minutes. Hence, some form of visual feedback that something is going on
is really needed.
