From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

The installation system for the Mozilla Win32 talkback enabled Full Installer
.exe (mozilla-win32-1.0.rc2-installer.exe) created an unwanted shortcut at
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Mozilla.lnk

This will add an icon to the Quick Launch section of the task bar.  By doing so,
it removed the Windows Explorer icon from the display, reducing the number of
visible icons from 5 to 4.  This is not an acceptable result, since installers
are supposed to ask whether or not you would like a shortcut in that toolbar
before creating it.
