EVALUATION control panel cannot find registry key for firefox ###@###.### 2005-03-09 03:06:44 GMT the control panle clearly shows only Mozilla and Netscape are supported. so it's right behaviour to report error to users. it's not a bug. Firefox is not supported in JDK 5.0, is supported in 6.0, see #6216340 ###@###.### 2005-04-07 07:22:35 GMT
