I use Firefox on a shared PC, where not everyone chooses to run Firefox as the default browser. But every time I say "yes" to the default browser check, Firefox sets itself up as the default browser for all users of the system.
see bug 220865 comment 6
it's probably a dupe of bug 220865, but that's filed for the suite.
This should be fixed for Firefox 3 on the trunk
Version: unspecified → 2.0 Branch
and or it is duplicate of bug 138997
No, this should be fixed as of Firefox 3.0 on trunk and is only applicable to Firefox 2.0. If someone can verify this works as expected with Firefox 3.0 this bug can be closed as wontfix in regards to fixing it for Firefox 2.0 since Firefox 2.0 is end of life.

Check with firefox 3.0. Default browser check works fine on a shared PC. It restricts firefox as Default browser for that user and it does not affect other users.
Resolving wfm... this has been fixed since Firefox 3 and prior versions are now end of life
