280195 - Text field (Folder field) in Custom Install option "Browse For Folder" does not show complete path

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233746

(Firefox :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Satish]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The text field (Folder field) in Custom Install option "Browse For Folder" does
not show complete path. It simply show "Mozilla Firefox". Also the directory
browser above the text field shows the TEMP path where the installer is extracted.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
1. Instead of showing just the "Mozilla Firefox", it is better if the complete
path is shown. For example, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox". This makes
easier for the user to just change the install location by typing in text field.
For example if I want to install in "D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox", I can
just change the driver letter from C: to D:
2. The directory browser above the text field shows the TEMP path where the
installer is extracted. It becomes difficult to navigate to "Program Files" or
other locations from there. Instead it is better to show the path "C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox". (Default).

In the future please only report one problem per bug. Having more than one
problem makes it more difficult to resolve the bug properly.

The first reported issue is bug 233746. The second reported issue is bug 241282.
As the first issue is still a bug resolving this bug as a dupe of bug 233746.

This bug was marked a duplicate of one which is the duplicate of another which was marked "WONTFIX". I think the WONTFIX was because it was Windows9x or NT.

This bug is 2000. 

Should it then be reopened?
