Installation of Internet Explorer is optional for the most recent versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11, so this would produce notification of errata after uninstallation, which may worry the uninstaller if they are not very technically competent. Consequently, this should not be implemented for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
However, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255225#c45 may be reasonable for more early operating-systems.

Yes? The comment you're replying to 1) is over four years old, and 2) literally says that it only applies to Windows 7. I'm well aware of what happens when you have the default browser set to something that does not actually exist, that's what this whole bug is all about. And IE being potentially absent has always been the case; I remember people even managing to remove it from Windows 98, which was a pretty impressive accomplishment. Also, I'm not sure where you got the idea that we would consider resetting the default to IE on Windows 10+ anyway; I think it's pretty clear that Edge would be the better choice there.
