      OS tested - Win XP Home SP2

      Steps to reproduce -

      1) On a system, install Firefox 1.0.2 and Mozilla 1.7.6. Get these from:

      http://www.mozilla.org/

      http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.7.6

      2) Install 1.5.0_02 then 1.4.2_08, so that 1.4.2_08 is the registered version with Mozilla

      3) install 1.6.0 on both systems.

      4) Run regedit, inspect that: HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\BrowserJavaVersion = 1.6.0.

      5) In JCP, de-select the "<APPLET> tag support" button for "Mozilla family".

      6) Check that: HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\BrowserJavaVersion is deleted

      7) set HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\BrowserJavaVersion = 1.5.0_02
       
      8) In JCP, select the "<APPLET> tag support" button for "Mozilla family".

      9) Check that: HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\BrowserJavaVersion=1.6.0

      10) Uninstall 1.6.0.

      11) Check that: HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft\\Java Runtime Environment\\BrowserJavaVersion
      which will now be set to 1.5.0_02, the previous one that the user had set.

      As per the spec, the BrowserJavaVersion variable should be deleted when 1.6.0 is uninstalled.
