the long "MSG_FORCE_QUIT_PROCESS_FAILED" string may also need a break in it.

cc mscott, as I think tbird would have the same problem.

I get this too on WinXP Pro SP2.

Also, this is probably related, firefox process does not quit when you close the
last browser window. Makes it difficult to install extensions.

I think this is quite a serious problem for 1.0, can someone put the blocking
flag on it.

Blocking requested, as this is a pain in the neck.

This was fixed with the new installer that landed - bug 326580.
