Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 Be it .jpg, .bmp .gif, and a few others, Mozilla's installer now has the annoying habit that MSIE does of associating all image file types that it uses to itself. Re-setting these manually is the only fix. Reproducible: Didn't try (didn't dare)
I'm sure this is a duplicate but can't find it. It's not likely to get fixed anyway since it's much easier to ask the user "would you like Mozilla to be the default browser?" than to give 'em a big long confusing list. Not installer, the browser does this on startup as part of the default-browser check. Individual types can be reverted to the original value through the prefs dialog (on the Advanced | System tab)
