User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

I have Firefox (0.9) set as my default browser on Windows XP. When I
double-click a Windows Internet Shortcut, Firefox opens the URL contained within
it. However I get a spurious error dialog stating "Windows cannot find '<url>'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly(...)".
This does not happen when IE is the default browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Go to a URL
3.Drag the address bar icon to the desktop in order to create a Internet Shortcut
4.Close Firefox
5.Double-click the Internet Shortcut just created

Actual Results:  
Firefox opens the URL correctly, however an error dialog appears.

Expected Results:  
The error dialog shouldn't appear.
