It would be better if the installer could check if there is enough space on the disk, and warn the user if there is not. The Mozilla (Seamonkey) installer does this if I remember correctly. It seems that there is the same problem with the firefox installer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Related to Firefox bug 266591?
Yes this is the same problem.
Suggested at bug 266591 that we move it to Core and mark this a duplicate of 266591.
I agree
