Oh. Anyway, summarizing:

a)
	 "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /SetAsDefaultAppGlobal

does nothing, or probably does the 'wrong' thing: if i run this on a
'new' windows machine, this commant still create 'FIREFOX.EXE' entry in
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet'.
(This can be considered a bug?)

b)
	"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /SetAsDefaultAppUser

works as expected, but have to be done for every user, probably better
place on logon scripts.


This is or can be documented somewhere?


Thanks.
