Very very annoying problem particularly for those evaluating whether to go 
other to Firefox from Ms Internet Explorer. As the test was performed on a main 
work computer it caused alot of problems. Most of the problems could be averted 
just but letting Windows 2000 know that iE was the default browser and linking 
the Internet shortcuts back to it.
See also bug 248497, similar problem with file associations.
Summary: Unstalling Firefox results in loss of access to links from I.E 6 WIthin Outlook, also all URL Shortcuts do not work.
