User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040310 Firefox/0.8.0+ Build Identifier: official 0.6 release Just before performing the installation, the installer checks to see if Thunderbird is running, and refuses to proceed if it is. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to distinguish between Mozilla/Firefox/etc. and Thunderbird. See similar Firefox installer bug 225500. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce:
Confirming for 0.7.1
I have the same problem when uninstalling any of the Mozilla applications and while doing that runing another Mozilla application.

Sometimes I am installing both Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time. One will always close out the other installer.
The download and the CD for thunderbird 1.0.2 gets firefox. win me please correct.

Is program stoppage considered "data loss"? There should be a better keyword to cover it. "Crash"? "Hang"?
Has anyone tried this in the most recent branch nightly builds? I still think this should block a release.
WFM installs using trunk and 2.0 with seamonkey running - no prompt
