Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; DigExt)
Build Identifier: firefox 1.0

Emptied entire program files folder with no warning when firefox was 
uninstalled. programs now corrupted and can't be reinstalled, entire computer 
is *beeped* And NO I won't try to reproduce it.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Installed itself not everything else.
This occured because installer was unclear about whether it would put the 
program in a new folder (some do, some don't). I guessed it would and it 
didn't, so firefox ended up in the main programs directory. I went to uninstall 
it and that was the end of most of my hd. :(
