After installing the latest version of Mozilla, the installer changes the file
extension associations of .gif, .png and .jpeg without asking if the current
associations may be changed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. associate .jpg to your favourite image editor
2. install Mozilla
Actual Results:
Double clicking on .jpg files in Windows Explorer desn't start my image software
anymore, but Mozilla instead.
Expected Results:
Ask me if the file associations my be changed or not change it at all. I don't
know why anybody might want to change file associations to the browser if an
image viewing or editing software is already installed.
This is what I do after each installation to get the associations back to Paint
Shop Pro 5: Load a .reg file with the following content:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png]
@="PSP5.Image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif]
@="PSP5.Image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg]
@="PSP5.Image"
