Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure KB3135173 is installed.
2. Install the release version of Firefox.
3. Install Nightly.
4. Options-General-Make default on Firefox.
5. Options-General-Make default on Nightly.

Actual result:
Toast will popup that says "An app default was reset".

Expected result:
No message should popup.

The reason is probably because Firefox and Nightly share the same ProgIds (FirefoxHTML and FirefoxURL).
Bug 918253 will fix this.
Depends on: 918253
Another STR:
1. Make sure KB3135173 (or Anniversary Update) is installed.
2. Install the release version of Firefox.
3. Options-General-Make default on Firefox.
4. Install Nightly.
Now Windows 10 *silently* takes over the default browser!
Duping forward because the new bug got more attention.
