I think there's a problem with the detection of Mozilla installs.  The
algorithm in mozilla_org_installed.nasl seems to be:

Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla
Get the value of CurrentVersion
Go 2 levels deeper to CurrentVersion\Main
Get the program path from PathToExe

The problem is that the value of CurrentVersion I see on machines here is
often not right.  For example, I've seen
  1.9 when 1.7.13 (en) is installed
  1.8.1.15 or 1.8.1.14 when almost any of the 1.7.x series is installed

The end result is that Mozilla is not always detected.  A similar algorithm
seems to work for Seamonkey and Firefox, so I think the Mozilla installer
messed up at some point.
