User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Build ID: 20170418030220 Steps to reproduce: -on windows 10 logon as administrator user (or a user belonging to administratorS group) -run firefox setup -when asked if I want to modify the system I click no Actual results: firefox is not installed. Expected results: firefox should install to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\ only for the administrator user, just like it does for normal (ie not administrator) users. it seems that administrators users can only install firefox "system wide" and sometimes I don't want to.

This should have been fixed by bug 1350974, but that patch is only on Nightly right now. If it wasn't a Nightly that you were trying to install before, would you mind getting one (from https://nightly.mozilla.org) and seeing if that version works? Thanks.
