User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 Upgraded from 2.0.0.2 to 2.0.0.3, from within firefox. The installed programs list in control-panel/add-remove-programs now includes a duplicate entry : Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.2) Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3) Specifically, the uninstaller did not remove the registry key - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.2) but yet added the key - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (2.0.0.3). The two keys are practically identical, except the old key using 8-char folder names. running the uninstall script on the old version (as unsuspecting users certainly may do), will result in uninstallation of the latest (and only) version. I deleted the old key manually, and didn't go through with checking reproducibility. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Running FF 2.0.0.2, choose 'check for updates' from within FF and update to 2.0.0.3. 2.run the update, restart FF. 3. check out control-panel/add-remove-progs Actual Results: duplicate entry: Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.2) Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3) Expected Results: single entry: Mozilla firefox (2.0.0.3)
Additional registry keys removed manually: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\2.0.0.2 (he) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 and an additional comment: i'm using the Hebrew UI for FF.
