WinRegInstallLocation in nsExtensionManager.js Hack

Firefox has a feature to add extensions that are defined in the Windows registry. Well, this is something that I definitely DO NOT want to happen when using portable firefox. It would be a nice feature to have a warning that registry extensions are available, and prompt the user to allow them to occur.

For the short term, I hacked the nsExtensionManager.js by commenting out the lines in the try block, and leaving the catch block alone in the WinRegInstallLocation function. Maybe this info can help somebody else too.

Question: Was there a better way to do this?
