(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Larry Rand]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Firefox/3.0

When I was testing Minefield, Firefox remained the default browser even after I chose Minefield.  Both programs indicated that they were the default browser.  I had to uninstall Firefox to get Minefield as the default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a link in an email.

2.Click on link -- Firefox would open instead of Minefield.
3.


Expected Results:  
Minefield opening instead of Firefox.  

This is a very minor glitch; when I chose Safari as default browser, there wasn't a problem.  Leopard doesn't seem to distinguish between Firefox and Minefield in many cases -- quite understandable.

I really like Firefox and am liking Minefield even better for my Intel Mini.
