If Firefox is the default web browser and the user attempts to access a webpage
by typing the address from Start-> Run, they will recieve an error message
stating that windows could not find the webpage.  Firefox does go to the proper
page but the error message should not be displayed.



Reproducible: Always

1. Set firefox as default web browser
2. Click on Start Menu, select run and type in a web address (EG
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/)
3. Click on OK or press enter.


Actual Results:  
Firefox opens to the correct webpage, but an error message is displayed stating
"Windows cannot find 'http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/'.  Make sure you typed the
name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start
button, and then click Search.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should open the webpage, but the error message should not be displayed.
