   In theory there should be no warnings.   
   In practice, the Mozilla people have decided on a rapid release schedule    
   and part of this is just removing errors and removing most warnings but    
   if a warning is considered harmless it may be ignored in the interest of    
   getting out the latest.   
   Also some of these warnings may be OS/2 specific, in which case    
   apologies but there are 3 of us doing the work of 10 in our spare time.    
   Once again, if it builds and our testing doesn't show any major issues    
   then we release. It's rather that or never release because we don't have    
   the resources to fix everything.   
   Some of these warnings may also be caused by having your profile in    
   tree. This is probably rare now a days as all the common supported    
   systems automatically have a preferred spot for the profile. There    
   profile is probably not virginal either so if a manifest is not    
   installed, then the previous installed one works good enough.   
   Anyways, it's a balance between getting out a release or taking forever    
   to get it perfect.
