3.
Actual Results:  
I can't uninstall Mozilla now. Do I delete the dir and try again or install 
over it?

Expected Results:  
Upgraded to todays 1.0 release.

Safe mode doesn't work.

I've got the exact same error after trying to use the auto updater to upgrade 
from PR1 to 1.0.
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: 
chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Line Number 910, column 33:
chromedir="&locale.dir;">
---------------------------------^

After downloading the latest nightly build and installing, this is the error I 
get:
firefox.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point ??1nsCOMPtr_base@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the 
dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

I think the feedback agent report number on the original crash is TB1876514Z 
if it helps.
