When one installs a new icon pack in chrome/icons/default , the icon for FireFox
in the Windows start menu should change - in particular the 'Internet' link on
the Windows XP start menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an icon pack (eg. http://iconpacks.mozdev.org )


Actual Results:  
The change is only reflected in the icon of the window

Expected Results:  
The change should be reflected in the start menu icon as well.

Shortcut icons are controlled by the operating system, not Firefox, and I don't
think it's feasible to have Firefox try and change all shortcut icnos. Only
doing the start menu might be an option, but even then it's a lot of work for
something that isn't officially supported. This is probably WONTFIX.

This isn't practical to implement, nor something we would need to carry around
for users.

I didn't mean all the shortcut icons but specifically the Internet icon in the
Start Menu, which is integrated with FireFox, since right-clicking it and
choosing 'FireFox Options' opens FireFox's options window.

If this could be implemented, it would be very cool.
