Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

I have seen this for multiple releases...
May be starting during the v1.4x cycle: possible "regression" !

W98SE behaves as W95B did.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (custom) Install Mozilla

Actual Results:  
'dir' output:

This directory is created after validating all the dialogs == during the
installation of the selected components == before the initial auto-launch of
Mozilla.

During this process, there is also a 'ns_temp1' directory created, which is
removed as expected; as the 'ns_temp' directory, created at the start of the
installer execution, is too.

A 'ns_temp2' directory is also created during the uninstall process, and remains
there after the process completes.

Same bug during install.
(I did not run UnInstall yet ;->)

The bug was already there in v1.4.
