305698 - Link installed on desktop is missing tooltip

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266713

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, enhancement)

Description

[Fergus Henderson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I hover the mouse curser over the Internet Explorer icon on my desktop,
it displays a nice tooltip message: "Finds and displays information and web
sites on the Internet".  But if hover the mouse cursor over the Mozilla Firefox
icon, I get a rather unhelpful message: "Location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox".
It would be much nicer to have a decent tooltip message, e.g.
"Mozilla Firefox: an open-source web browser".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install mozilla firefox on Windows.
2. Hover the mouse cursor over the desktop Mozilla Firefox icon.

Actual Results:  
The message "Location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" is displayed.

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed a message that is more helpful to new users who do not
know what Mozilla Firefox is.
