User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Build Identifier: firefox-0.8-win32-enGB-installer.exe Using the firefox-0.8-win32-enGB-installer.exe package, if I select to install developer's tools, the app will not start after what appears to be a successful installation. I get a short hourglass, then nothing - despite repeated tries. I have tried removing the profile directories prior to an install, but no difference. Also, the app does not show an install size in 'add/remove programs' - I don't know if this might be significant, or a completely separate issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete/uninstall any previous Firefox installations, including profile dirs 2. Install from firefox-0.8-win32-enGB-installer.exe 3. Select to install developer tools Actual Results: The app won't fire up. Expected Results: :-)

The bug you're reporting is reported from an unofficial en-GB installer, not distributed by mozilla.org Pleae verify that this happens also on the official installer, which would then be considered a bug. Since noone else is seeing this on the official installer (including me), I'm marking this as INVALID.
