You guys sound like typical Linux coders.  You missed the point. WHY SHOULD I
have to copy these files to a new location?  Forcing the user to copy files
(which shouldn't be moved anyway.  why not point mozilla to the files instead?)
is NOT USER FRIENDLY.  The majority of Windows users wouldn't have a clue how to
do that.  I'm not joking either.

Yes, I have complained to Sun also about their JRE install.  It just keeps
creating new dirs for new versions leaving the old.  When I update/upgrade a
product, I expect to COMPLETELY remove all old files.  Something that I haven't
seen ANY windows app do yet.
