Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131106

Mozilla on Windows provides the option on the Advanced --> System panel to
select its file associations like html, jpg, png, etc.

It would be convenient to allow this selection to also be made during Custom
Installation.

Right now, when I upgrade to a new Mozilla (I often test the alphas and betas),
I have to remember to go back and de-select a couple of file types (JPG, GIF,
and PNG, I think) that I normally keep associated with my image editing software.

Mozilla, politely, removes its associations when it is uninstalled and
re-creates them with a new installation.  It'd be nice to make these selection
during a Custom Install just to eliminate a small step during upgrading.  The
installers for some applications (IrfanView image viewer, for example) provide
such an option.
