User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Instead of pulling up Firefox as my default browser when my NetZero service
connects, it instead pulls up Firefox.  If I set Mozilla as my default, it comes
up as the default browser liek it should, but if I set Firefox, then Internet
Explorer pulls up and automatically sets it back to IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.I click on the executable file for NetZero and click connect.
2.It finishes connecting and loads the default browser.
3.If Firefox is set as default, it loads IE, if anything else it set, it loads
correctly.

Actual Results:  
Internet Explorer displays and sets itself as the default browser.

Expected Results:  
Loaded Firefox since it was supposed to be default.
Has to be a dupe somewhere, but I think TE, not invalid
