Attachment: Unknown publisher warning screenshot

I downloaded Firefox 3.0.5 on Vista from mozilla.com and got an "Unknown Publisher" security warning.
The mirror was mozilla-mirror.internap.com

I happened to be taking screenshots at the time, so they're attached.

Investigating, in case this is a problem with the FF3.0.5 release.

hm thats strange, i tested a random mozilla mirror from mozilla.com and also the mirror that alix mentioned directly and i got in both cases Mozilla Corporation as publisher

Hey Alix, you tried to download the en-US Version of Firefox, or did you tried to download a locale ?

Comment 4

[Alix Franquet [:alix]]

It was en-US, from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US

It's something I had seen before with other releases, but it's a very intermittent problem. I was taking screenshots for the download.html page this time so I hoped it would be possible to track down the issue.

If it happens again I'll post in this bug, hopefully with the mirror info.

The main page, and also the specific mirror node Alix hit both work fine for Tomcat, and also, after retrying, now work ok for Alix too. 

One difference we did find was:

Alix is using Vista Business Version 6.0 (Build 6000)
Tomcat is using Vista Business Version 6.0 build 6001 service pack 1

Sadly, as Alix cannot reproduce this problem, we dont know if upgrading the vista version fixes it, and hence identifies the problem as something fixed in Vista sp1.


I'm going to close this bug as WFM. However, please do reopen if this happens again.
