Confirmed in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6)
Gecko/20050112 Firefox/1.0+

Worse in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050127
Firefox/1.0+
After installing and leaving the box checked to launch after install is
complete, the import wizard comes up, clicking don't import anything results in
an error saying: 
The file /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/Firefox/firefox.exe cannot be found.
Please check the location and try again.
after clicking OK it comes back, I click OK again, then after a few seconds
firefox DOES start, but with two tabs opened, one blank, the other with the
address of file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/Firefox/firefox.exe
So it is fixed in the sense that it does start after clicking don't import
anything, but broken because of the error.

This isn't fixed. If it is no longer reproducible, mark it WORKSFORME.

Ooops I marked it as fixed when it wasn't, mybad, the import wizard never
actually came up and it never clicked in my brain that there was anything wrong
with firefox starting up normally.
Never do anything in bugzilla without 8 hours of sleep.
A bug has been filed for the bug in comment 4.

I just installed Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows XP x64 Edition (Trial Version)
and after clicking on don't import anything, firefox started as usual.
Apparently this bug only affects 32 bit Windows for some reason, or this
was just luck.

I reformatted (which I do frequently) and firefox now loads fine after don't
import anything is selected.
As I was using a backup of firefox from another partition I can only assume this
is somehow a problem with the windows install, this is the first time I can
recall not experiencing this bug, I installed windows xp like I always do.
