217416 - Enhance the Mozilla Installer to allow multiple download versions

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030826

The Mozilla installer from the web (the installer stub) should allow the user to
choose a version of Mozilla to download. For example, it could download the
latest milestone version, or for advanced users/testers the nightly build. The
installer should look on a server for the available versions and update the list
when run. This way the user wouldn't have to download another installer that's
almost exactly the same to update the application.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
