Okay, quick update:
Apparently, the old OF versions DO get deleted. At any rate, after updating today, there’s only the shell of the old version left in the Applications folder –*an empty application with 0 KB.
Probably a permissions problem. As my user installed the app, everything in it is owned by my user and can be deleted with user privileges –*but the app folder itself needs admin privileges to be deleted, so it isn’t.
That’s how Firefox auto-updates: It doesn’t replace firefox.app as a whole, but just writes over the contents of firefox.app. No Admin validation is needed.
