You mentioned having several different issues, I believe with different installers. Is this an issue that consistently reproduces with a specific installer? Or is it an intermittent issue with any stub installer? If it's the former, could you please attach the problematic installer to this bug? It process goes into a loop. The entry point is that I have Nightly installed in my Appdata folder and I want it to be installed in the Program Files folder. 1. Run the stub installer. - > The installer will run perfectly fine, and you have firefox in Program Files. But you also have Firefox installed in the Appdata folder. 2. Go to the Firefox installed in the AppData folder, and run the uninstaller (that is in the Firefox/Uninstall folder). - > This uninstaller will run, but it will remove Firefox from both AppData and Program Files. Therefore, you dont have any browser on your machine. 3. To install a browser, you run the stub installer again. This time, it will get stuck. I dont remember how i got into the state of #1 above today. Maybe :emk can provide additional details here as they confirmed this bug in comment #6.

I dont remember how i got into the state of #1 above today. But it is a combination of the stub installer, a full-fledged 55MB Nightly installer, and potentially the 32bit installation.
