Affected versions

  • 77.0a1(2020-04-24)

Affected platforms

  • Windows 7x86

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the targeted Firefox Stub Installer.
  2. Run Firefox Stub Installer.
  3. Click "Yes" on the UAC Prompt.

Expected result

  • The Installation starts.

Actual result

  • An error message is displayed saying that “Firefox Nightly Installer has stopped working”

Regression range

  • Don’t think this is a regression since it is part of the new feature.

Additional notes

  • I used a clean environment for this (all mozilla appdata and registries were emptied before running the stub installer)
  • A Stub Installer 74 version works fine.
  • See the attached screenshot with the error message.

Please note that the issue is reproducible on win 7 x64 as well.

The issue was verified fixed using the latest Fx 77.0a1.
The stub installer now correctly installs Firefox, no longer hanging or crashing on Windows 7 x64 and x32.
