User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1 Build ID: 20111120135848 Steps to reproduce: On 32-Bit Windows 7 install running in a Virtual Box Guest container. Updated the browser to 8.0.1 when pop-up said the update was available. The install simply went away and none of my short cuts to firefox would work. I then tried to download the software manually, which succeeded, but the installer would just go away during the extraction of the files. Actual results: After investigating, I found that I did not have enough free disk space for the extraction. The installer never reported a problem, the extraction just didn't happen. Expected results: The installer should not silently fail if there is insufficient free disk space to extract the installation files.
