Windows XP SP2. Firefox set as default browser. After upgrading to
2.0.0.7, if FF is not open, clicking on desktop shortcut to a URL
produces Windows error message "Windows cannot find 'http://www. ...'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

Then the requested URL opens in Firefox, but leaves the error message
behind the FF window.

If Firefox is open, access is fine, no error message.

I have tried: "Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Set
Program Access and Defaults -> Custom", but the selection of Firefox
will not stay; the option reverts back to "Use my current Web browser"
upon exiting.

I have tried "Start Menu -> Run":
firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser
but that doesn't help.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

George
