When right clicking on an html file in Windows Explorer and choosing edit, I get
the editor to open with the "Ender HTML Test Page". I checked the actions for
file type html, for the edit action it had: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT
OFFICE\OFFICE\msohtmed.exe". I changed it to C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1.2\MOZILLA.EXE
-edit "%1", which is what I think it should be, and this still causes the Ender
HTML page to come up.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on an html file
2.Do edit
3.Watch the Ender Test Page come up instead of your document.

Actual Results:  The wrong file was opened in editor.

Expected Results:  Should have edited the file you right clicked on
OK, now that I exited and restarted Mozilla, the modifications to the context
menu I made have the desired effect, i.e. it no longer gives me the Ender HTML
Test Page, it gvies me what I right clicked and did edit on.

So, what would need to happen is whoever writes the installer I guess should
include the correct action for "edit" for the html file type in Windows Explorer.

Sean: is this installer? or should it be the browser that does the reg.edit add. 
You could also imaging other reg.db adds.
The installer does not set the browser as the default handler for http or html.  
The browser does that at startup.
