I installed Firefox 3 Beta 2 on my machine. It created a quick launch icon with the name "Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 2." I installed the update to upgrade to the the official release of Firefox 3 as well as 3.0.1. However, my quick launch icon still says "Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 2."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Beta version of Firefox 3 making sure the quick launch icon is checked when installing
2. Update to the latest version of Firefox 3
Actual Results:  
The quick launch icon name remains as "Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 2"

Expected Results:  
The quick launch icon should have been renamed to "Mozilla Firefox 3"

We intentionally don't add or modify shortcuts during application update intentionally whether it is for a nightly, beta, or official release and since this is only an issue with beta releases and would potentially cause bugs with official releases where this is unnecessary resolving -> wontfix. This is only done with the installer or when you select "enable access to this program" (Vista it is under Default Programs -> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults).
