Jean-Jacques,
Your fix works! It's great!
One hitch; .htm files still have an IE icon and not a Firefox icon...
They open in Firefox though. Rename the file with .html for the
extension and it gets a Firefox icon.
Weird.
Anyone have a fix? : )
Now more questions that might be off-topic for this list.
What does the nsBrowserContentHandler.js file do?
Is there risk of breaking anything when copying the patched version to a
previous install?

After installing Firefox with:
"%WpkgRoot%\Packages\Firefox\Firefox Setup 1.5.0.2.exe" -ms
Run:
Set_Firefox_as_default.cmd
-----------------------Set_Firefox_as_default.cmd--------------------------
copy %Wpkgroot%\Files\nsBrowserContentHandler.js "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla
Firefox\components"
"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateProfile default
"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -setDefaultBrowser -silent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add lines 330 331 in the original nsBrowserContentHandler.js
326: if (cmdLine.handleFlag("preferences", false)) {
327: openPreferences();
328: cmdLine.preventDefault = true;
329: }
330: if (cmdLine.handleFlag("silent", false))
331: cmdLine.preventDefault = true;
332: },
333:
334: helpInfo : " -browser Open a browser window.\n",
335:
diff nsBrowserContentHandler.js nsBrowserContentHandler.js.orig
330,331d329
< if (cmdLine.handleFlag("silent", false))
< cmdLine.preventDefault = true;
The modification of nsBrowserContentHandler.js restore the -silent flag that
have been removed.
As I understand it it will be back "out of the box" in 1.5.0.4
This solution works at least with 1.5.0.2.
