STR:
1) Run a Firefox installer (stub or full, any channel)
2) Cancel the resulting UAC prompt

Expected behavior:
The installer offers a default install path inside the user's home directory, then installation proceeds as normal without ever requiring elevation.

Actual behavior:
The installer exits.

Bug 1350974 - Continue installing unelevated if the UAC prompt is rejected, and don't prompt a second time in the stub installer.

Please confirm the user experience when declining the UAC prompt, does the stub just launch? 
Chrome prompts the user "Google Chrome can be installed without administrative right. Continue?"

Michael, this is about allowing a fall-back to users who decline the UAC prompt, so that Firefox gets installed into the user's home directory instead of C:\Program Files. Are you OK with just launching the stub when the user declines the UAC?
Now with NI to Michael
Flags: needinfo?(mverdi)
Actually I am told this is a regression, removing the NI to Michael since we'll implement it the following way:
- User dismisses the UAC prompt
- Installer launches and installs to the user's home directory

Romain: can you verify if this is a regression or valid post Quantum stub installer?

Just tested it's still fixed in Win10 x64  - AFAIK this has been fixed since 55. 
Works as intended:
1 User dismisses the UAC prompt
2 Installer launches and installs to the user's home directory
