Manual update creates shortcut in users start menu folder

Firefox Update

Hey there, I've installed Firefox and let it create the shortcut in the start menu, which results in a shortcut under `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs` (as expected), but every time I update Firefox via the "Menu > Help and Report > About Firefox" dialog, it creates a shortcut under the current users Roaming folder `C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs`. Deleting the file will only work until the next update. Does anyone know a way to stop that behaviour?
