You can test it, simply but deleting the HOOKS_SEEN file and then manually starting update-notifier from the console. It will open a dialog telling you a few things you have to do, like restart Firefox, etc. and afterwards, after you close it, a new HOOKS_SEEN files is generated.
One more question, are the changes you made to INSTALL and config.h.in important? If yes, then we could send them as a separate patch to mvo.
P.S I will try to get Michael to put you name into the commit message, since most of my patch was inspired by your branch.
