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.

llim->lihuang: why is this 5.2z bug?
