I has installed TB3.0 and Fx3.6 for testing, both with their respective
profile(3.0 and 3.6), TB2.0 and Fx3.5(2.0 and 3.5)

Initially i set Fx3.6 the default browser, made a batch of testing and
then revert the default browser to 3.5.

My keyboard have multimedia keys, between them a [Mail] and [Home](not
the other home) to start the default email and browser client.

After to revert to 3.5 the home keyboard stop responding(stating the
browser) i start Fx3.5 and again setup how the default browser, try
again but the [HomeM] dont respond.

After a lot of searching i find the problem was that Fx3.6 made use
internal of the Mozilla Firefox or Firefox inside of the register, then
i delete the firefox entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet and start
Fx3.5,set the default browser and start again with success.

Then i try TB3.0 like before, setting how the default email client,
start it with the [Mail] key, and then with TB3.0 in focus the
[HomeM]key lost the ability again.

I find if i have TB3.0 the [HomeM] key lost the hability to start the
browser(Fx3.5 of Fx3.6) if get the focus, if i made lost the focus to
TB3.0 the [HomeM] key restore the ability.


<Question>
Why Fx3.6 and TB3.0 stole the default setting of windows going against
the Fx3.5 and TB2.0?

Aparently i find the problem, is the form how Fx3.6 is identified in
the register, with the same name of Fx3.5, then when the [webhome]key
try to open the default browser dont know the correct to start.

Other posible cause is the use of the menu keys [CTRL][ALT][M](webhome
equivalence) in a menu/feature inside of TB3.0.

The problem is from Thunderbird 3.0RC1, lost the setting of the
[webhome] key from the multimedia keyboard.With tb3.0 in focus the
response go to the program and no to the system and if tb3.0 dont get
the focus(it's in the backgroud) the [webhome] key respond starting the
default browser.
