144417 - Installing Mozilla steals filetype associations

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131106

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, enhancement)

Description

[Steven Don]

When installing Mozilla (on any Windows OS), it takes over filetype associations
for several types of files. I find it quite annoying to double-click on a GIF or
JPG file only to see Mozilla load when I want to edit the image in Paint Shop
Pro. Fortunately, PSP has a quick method of restoring file associations, but
many programs do not. This really should be an option in the installer
(although, from bug 28332 and bug 28174 I gather that this is difficult?)
