	~~== Release date ==~~
	The [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/ release notes for Firefox 3.6 RC1] says it was released January 8th, 2009 instead of January 8th, 2010. This should be changed immediately if possible or at least fixed in the next release candidate or final.

	~~== Partitioning ==~~
	~~We need rapidly a better support of partitioning : "all in C:\" as presently done is out of date :~~

	1) recent off-the-shelf configurations have at least 2 partitions of equal size e.g. my 2 years old low end laptop. The users want to have the "user data" out of C:\ to avoid loss of them after a severe Windows crash and re-installation with Format C:\. This means an installer option to choose data (e.g. profile) directory.

	2) in a near future many PC will have OS on a SSD disk to obtain fast start of the PC. Due to the SSD price C:\ partition will be small 64 to 128 GO. We have to offload from it all that is possible. That may include programs, it is presently possible to install Firefox out of C:\ but in case of bug report the only solution accepted by developers is to put back Firefox in "Program files" directory : this position has to be changed...

	~~This 2 needs apply also to other Mozilla products e.g. Thunderbird.~~
