Installer script will fail if default shell will be other than bash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have /bin/sh linked to different shell than bash (f.e. pdksh)
2.run mozilla-installer

Actual Results:  
$ ./mozilla-installer                                                               
./mozilla-installer[41]: export: -n: unknown option


Expected Results:  
Should not fail. Use explicit shell definition (#!/bin/bash) or give up "-n"
option for better shell compatibility.

This was fixed in mozilla-installer version 1.10 as part of bug 198304. See
