If I want to upgrade firefox from 1.0rc1 to 1.0, after installing the latter I'm
getting 2 firefoxes to uninstall in add/remove programs list. this is because
it's written to the registry to another key with different version. namely: to
HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox
(1.0RC1)" and to HKLM
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (1.0)". it
should be writing to the same key in registry - that way only one instance of
firefox will show in add/remove programs. I propose: HKLM
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox"
