Screenshot of firewall request window

Details 
When the Mozilla Installer tries to connect to the Internet to download files,
my firewall asks if "setup" can connect to the Internet. Since there are tons of
setup programs and my firewall stores each network-requesting application in a
long list, it would be nice if Mozilla Installer had a more descriptive
application name, like "Mozilla Installer".

I'm attaching (if I figure out how) a screenshot of my firewall's request window.

Please consider this.
The red ellipse is what I'm talking about.
I agree. Do we have any 8.3 limitation here? If not then the name
MozillaSetup.exe is fine my me. Else just MozSetup.exe ?
