i would like to show a warning to the user saying
something like:
"The installer has detected Firefox/Thunderbird are running in your
computer. Close them and press Retry, or press Cancel to cancel the
installation." (With the proper Retry-Cancel buttons).

I thought about doing something like that.
Given Firefox's ability to recover from sudden closure, I run 'killall firefox' (used to be firefox-bin) in a preflight. Not the best solution, but it works.

Cheers,
Doug
