Yes, just choose custom install on the installer setup and
uncheck all the extra stuff. However, are you aiming to
replace your normal browser with Mozilla? It's possible, but
considering Mozilla's status as a development project, it's
still considered alpha/beta and hasn't reached the magical
1.0 yet, so problems should be expected and keeping a backup
browser just in case you encounter problems.
Things such as SSL, view source, etc, are too much part of
the browser that can't be yanked out if you wanted to,
unless you want to compile the source code yourself.
I know it's integrated, but why does it seem that so many
people assume it's not possible to install just the browser?
