I setup firebird and it hijacked all my image file associations...and will not
release them, corrupted the icons and could not get them to restore.  This
really needs to be fixed!  And we need the ability to control firebird
associations via preferences or when its installed.  Otherwise I love Firebird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and set Firebird as default browser.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Hijacked all image file associations

Expected Results:  
only change .html .htm .url associations
