233536 - Installer should not create duplicate icons

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Gids Goldberg]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

With Firefox, there's a problem where if you have a shortcut on the desktop or
quick launch bar, a duplicate is created when you install a new version.
The situation would be helped by bug 225641, however, I think it is a distinct
issue. I don't think the user should expect duplicate shortcuts to be created.  


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Firefox
2.Install a newer version of Firefox


Actual Results:  
Duplicate shortcuts are created

Expected Results:  
No duplicate shortcuts should be created, the installer should check for
existing shortcuts.

Is it really creating duplicate icons, or is it just creating a "firefox" icon
where there is already a "firebird" icon?

Closing this bug as invalid, as I was unable to reproduce this problem, guess as
you suggested it has to do with the latter, a mess after installing Firefox
after Firebird.
