Description

[joe chang]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.8

did a clean install of firefox 0.9, everything works fine.  however if i fire up
firefox from a shell (address bar, outlook link, or start->run), it will fire up
firefox twice, having the same content.  by removing firefox 0.9, install 0.8,
then install 0.9 on top of 0.8 tends to fix the problem, but the identifier
detects firefox as 0.8.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Remove all verions of firefox (even a clean install of the whole computer)
2.  Install firefox 0.9/0.9.1
3.  Open up firefox from shell such as the address bar on the start menu, or
start->run

Actual Results:  
Firefox fires up twice

Expected Results:  
Firefox should only fire up once

Your bug report is a duplicate of bug 246078.

Furthermore, it's specifically mentioned in the release notes
(http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/0.9.html) that you should NOT
install one version on top of another (which gives you the build error, among
other problems I've seen mentioned).
