Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.0.4-1.el5

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch ff from g-t.
1.Go to 'Edit > Preferences'.
2.On the Pref window, go to 'Advanced > General' page.
3.Click 'Check Now' button.
4.Click 'Ok' when you are asked to set ff as default browser.
  
Actual results:
The warning msg is given.

Expected results:


Additional info:
( If I click a link or the launcher on panel after installing firefox, it will invoke firefox, is it mean firefox is set as my default browser ? then why after step3, I was told *ff is not currently set as your default browser ? )

llim->lihuang: why is this 5.2z bug?
Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2008-11-17 19:51:27 UTC 
We should not allow the user to even set FF as the default browser from here, this should be done via the gnome preferred application dialog.  I thought we disabled this code, already.  We should always be returning PR_TRUE for IsDefaultBrowser() ...

The original patch was forgotten during firefox 3 rebase. There's a modified version for 3.0 line attached.
