After upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 10, the default browser will most likely be reset. It will be good to store this state independently of the OS prior to upgrade so we have the ability to alter our messaging if the user previously had Firefox set as the default.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Requesting tracking for Firefox 39 because we will need to get this out ASAP on to Release before Windows 10 gets released if we want to use this.

This is safe, trivial, and seems handy to have. But I suspect we'll need to do more before actually building something around it.

Affects Firefox 39, so tracking.
It seems like the the patch for bug 1170304 completely revokes the change made by the patch attached to this bug. "dolske" agrees on that. Removing the tracking flag for firefox39.

Renominate if you think this is a separate issue.
This was fixed on 39 and 40 using bug 1170304.
