If you run Firefox's uninstaller while Firefox is open, it tells you that
Firefox is running, and that it needs to quit Firefox to continue.  It says that
it will automatically do so when you click OK, but there is no cancel button, so
you are forced to close Firefox and lose any data (I had 3 Bugzilla tabs open,
for example).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox with at least one tab
2. Go to the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel
3. Attempt to uninstall Firefox

Actual Results:  
A window appears telling you that it needs to quit Firefox, and that it will do
so automatically when you click OK.

Expected Results:  
In addition to the OK button, there should be a Cancel button in case you don't
want it to quit Firefox for you.  After it quits Firefox you can still cancel
the uninstallation, but you should be able to cancel it before it forces Firefox
to quit.
