215073 - Setting FIREBIRD to be default browser hijacks JPG file associations

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131106

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[chris L]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

When I set FIREBIRD to be my default browser, it hijacked my file associations
for JPG files. This is terrible Microsoft-like behaviour. At least ask before
you destroy my O/S.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools->Options
2.General Tab
3.Click on "set mozilla firebird to be your default browser"

Actual Results:  
Nothing special, but Firebird now opens as my default browser, as expected.
However, when I double click a JPG file now, it also opens Firebird instead of
my original app (Photoshop)

Expected Results:  
It should have asked which files I wanted associated with Mozilla.
