251413 - Icons fail to change from IE to Firefox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

I have changed all appropriate file types to display the Firefox icon. When I
add the "LINKS" option to the Windows task bar (Windows XP, Build
2600.xpsp2.020422-1633 : Service Pack 1), all the links that DO NOT have a
favicon show up with an Internet Explorer icon. Inside Firefox, all bookmarks
without a favicon show up as a "blank page with the corner folded down" which I
believe is the default.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
I don't have multiple machines to reproduce bug on.

Update: the favicon is not displayed either, my bad. Also when the links bar is
displayed in windows explorer, the behavior is the same -- the IE icon is
displayed and not the Firefox icon.

if your OS has the settings, but doesn't change the icon association, you might
have to reboot/rebuild your icon cache.  Either way, its not a Firefox bug.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
