    Remove duplicated Firefox browser entry in Default Programs


    Running Win7 Pro
    Mozilla Firefox v56 Portable

    This apparently happened after I checked under Options/General/Startup for FF to check if it's the default browser.
    Now there is a 2nd "Firefox" in 'Default Programs' that apparently is using the default Firefox profile instead of the customized profile it should use. It opens in a their users unfriendly layout instead of my 'classic' layout which is a huge problem since it doesn't have my bookmarks among other things.

    The default version is a 'Portable" version. The correct and the duplicated versions are the sane version number (56). I only have one Firefox folder in 'C' drive. Unless this is pointing to a duplicate folder elsewhere other than 'C'.

    I assume this is a registry entry.
