172334 - thisApplication() could need some tweaks

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

All of the places in the reg.db use have:
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA.EXE

this is due to
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpfe/components/winhooks/nsWindowsHooksUtil.cpp#52
does a ToUpperCase

why does it do that?
and why are we using the MSDOS 8.3 naming? No need for that?

so this RFE is to replace:
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA.EXE
with:
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\mozilla.exe

like all other normal program does

[timeless]

the reason people do silly stuff like this is to avoid dealing with quotation
marks in filenames.

The fact is that this is already broken because a file system could disable
short names.
