[Bug 196933] [NEW] firefox keeps asking to be default browser when it should not

[Stevko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When firefox is started it asks to be default browser (" Firefox is not currently set as your default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?"). Since I use dillo as my default browser, I uncheck "Always perform this check..." an click No. I also unchecked "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup" in preferences. However, when I close firefox and start it again, it asks me again to be my default browser.
