JDK-6267625 - Close browser during JRE installation. Open a new window to java.com at the end of the installation.
Description
Steps to reproduce:

1. Install a JRE (5.0uX)
2. Open IE and run an applet (leave open)
3. Install a newer version of the JRE, and it will ask for a reboot of the system.

This is a common scenario, and it's not a good UE to ask them to reboot the entire system.  We should ask the user to restart their browser, and maybe even assist with the restart of the browser.

EVALUATION we should look at for u1
