There are things I don't understand. I haven't got a file named
"mozilla.exe" anywhere (searched). The file "mozilla 1.21" acts like it's
the executable, but its size is only 121 kbytes--smaller than I would
expect. Installing mozilla created a folder on the desktop that contains
an object named mozilla--not a shadow. A double click on this also opens
mozilla. There is no file tab in its properties. The Path and file name
field on the program tab page for this object has
c:\mozilla.org\mozilla\mozilla 1.21. What sort of object is this? The
desktop folder also contains a "Mozilla Profile Manager" and an uninstall
icon. Installation seemed easy and smooth, but I'm wondering if something
went wrong there.
