Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:


On Windows 7:

B: Uninstall Firefox


Actual results:

All attached links in the windows7 superbar are missing after update or/and reinstall firefox.

The problem is on uninstall or update, where at: 

"%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar"

the shortcut for the windows7 superbar (taskbar) will delete.



Expected results:

Leave the user added attached links, just leave the shortcut on update !
Its very annoying to lose all short links.

I just did some tests. The result is: sometimes the attached links are there, sometimes they are lost.

I dont get a logical behind this :(

For me - i dont use this Win7 feature anymore for recently updating software. I gone back to Shortbars with links inside or using my favorites.

Thank you for your help, with best regards
Mathias.
