Steps: 1. Install an application from apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir 2. Launch the application 3. Go find the application in %APPDATA% 4. Uninstall it using the uninstaller Expected: The application should successfully be uninstalled with no errors thrown to the user. Actual: An error is thrown on uninstall giving a user a false indication that a problem happened during uninstall. However, if you click through the error, I noticed that uninstall appeared to be successful from an end-user perspective (e.g. desktop shortcuts removed, start menu items removed, app data shown is in the correct state).

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in the integration between Firefox and the runtime.
