mozilla-win32-installer-sea-talkback.exe won't let me not install chat or mail

here comes the screen shot
As designed.  If you go the the last dialog (where the Install button is at), it 
should show you that they are "(required)".

This is the force-upgrade feature at work.  The installer has detected that you 
had previously installed those components.  If you were able to deselect them, 
then those components (not being installed) might not be compatible with the new 
browser files you're about to install.

I admit, we could use a better way of informing the user of this.

"The browser is always installed.  Select or clear the additional components you
want to install."

how about something like:

"Select or clear the additional components you want to install.  Any previously
installed components must be upgraded."

or something.  reopening and morphing.
