Install Firefox
Start --> Programs --> Mozilla Firefox

Only 'Mozilla Firefox' and 'Mozilla Firefox (save mode)' are present. There
should be an uninstall shortcut. And maybe the save mode shortcut should be
removed??

Newer windows applications do not tend to put uninstall on the start menu,
instead relying on add/remove programs in control panel.

I think Profile Manager and Talkback (if installed), and maybe a documentation
link should go on the start menu but uninstall should stay in add/remove programs.

5. Do not place shortcuts to documents, help or uninstall in the Start menu
