been your default browser

4. Show on startmenu does not have Mozilla Firebird as an option


Actual Results:  
Only IE and MSN Explorer showed up

Expected Results:

Fixing this might depend on having an installer.

This is registry based, its kind of a dupe of 214263, the installer already does
this for Mozilla.  If you're that concerned, you can comment in that bug.

But for right now, this is actually invalid since the function you're looking at
requires registry entries that don't exist yet.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
