Not a blocker for 1.8.0.5, but if we can get an easy fix for this, we can reconsider for 1.8.0.6.  Please renominate for the next release if a patch shows up.

Rob, do you know if this could still happen with the NSIS installer now?

Comment 3

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

This should work now but trying it with the new installer is the way to go

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Jay, could you do a QA cycle on this?

I've done some basic testing of this with latest MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH and have not been able to reproduce this bug though I'd appreciate someone else testing this as well.

This doesn't affect the NSIS installer which has been in use since Firefox 2.0.

Resolving -> WONTFIX as it applies to fixing this bug for Firefox 1.5 since that is what this bug is about.
