Steps to reproduce:
I uninstalled and installed Firefox system-wide
Actual results:
A duplicate entry for Firefox appeared in "Set defaults by app" due to the Firefox installer creating keys in both HKCU\Software\RegisteredApplications and HKLM\Software\RegisteredApplications
Expected results:
The Firefox installer should create keys in HKCU\Software\RegisteredApplications only when installed per user

This is probably bug 1406169, which is fixed as of version 58. The 58 uninstaller will also be able to remove the duplicated entries (bug 1410944).
As a workaround for now, you should be fine just deleting the HKCU entry manually.
