setup.exe has a limitation that it runs postinstall scripts with /bin/sh if
it exists, and that there is currently no clean way to uninstall
/bin/sh when upgrading bash.  Therefore, I bet that the bash
postinstall script that tried to upgrade /bin/sh failed, because running
the script with /bin/sh cannot upgrade /bin/sh, so now your
"bash --version" and "sh --version" report different values.  The
solution, then, is to "cp /bin/{bash,sh}", then try Mozilla again.
