choice of browser & windows file types

hi,

This posting refers to the effects of allowing Mozilla to make
itself the default browser.  This seems to me the most
appropriate mailing list,  but it is not quite an obvious fit
and if I have got the wrong one please accept my apols and tell
me where I should have posted this.  

I have three graphics packages on this machine,  running under
win-98.  File types had previously been set so graphics files
would open by default in the browser, but I also had set up
associations so that right clicking on the file would give me
the choiceof opening the file in Adobe-photoshop, in Gimp,  and
in MS-PhotoEd.

When Mozilla (build ID 2002102608) offered to make Mozilla my
default browser, I expected the .htm .html files to be
associated with the lizard instead of with IE.  I also was not
surprised that it changed the association of the open command
for each of these file types.

What I did not expect,  and what I think is quite user-hostile,
is for it to discard all the alternative actions.  There is not
even an option to print (not even using Mozilla),  where before
I had right-click menu options for print, adobe, photoEd, and Gimp.

Please can this be reconsidered?  The "open" action should be
changed of course,  but print should be left alone (or at least
replaced with a viable Mozilla based print option),  and so
should any other actions.  

The total annihilation of the alternatives is not the same as
replacing the default!
