I REALLY don't want to see prompts like this ... when FF upgrades to a newer release. I postponed clicking on adding this application since I really didn't know what it as going to do, or how to remove it once done. The little 'i' in the red circle did nothing. So - I finally clicked on it to make it go away. Not hat I call a very seamless upgrade.

Hi.

Never seen anything like this? Maybe as I don't use Fx for emails. I use Thunderbird :)

This is so called protocol handler message. It shows up because you don't have an e-mail application/service configured in Windows. It doesn't have anything to do with current upgrade.

You can just dismiss it.
