I just noticed that, although the downloaded FirefoxSetup.exe is dated 24 July
2004, the ID string says that the release is for 23 July 04. Thus, I'm not
entirely certain which release the bug actually applies to; at any rate, my
search for this bug before I filed the report did not find an existing bug that
seemed to be the same as the one I reported.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
