Firefox is the default browser for all users

[sfonteneau]

Until yesterday, I was installing a 32-bit Firefox package everywhere, but the latest "lesfourmisduweb" packages uninstalled this 32-bit version to install the 64-bit version. There remains a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" folder on the machines, but it is almost empty.

This behavior in my package has not changed between the latest firefox package and previous packages.

Yes, it's strange, but it's been happening since the update to 1.5.1.21 and/or the replacement of my firefox_all package with firefox_x86+firefox_x64. It's still the 32-bit version that used to install on our 64-bit PCs; I don't know why.

I found a workaround to allow users to open desktop URL shortcuts in Firefox by modifying the registry. However, the commands to set Firefox as the default browser are not working.

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice]
"Progid"="FirefoxURL-308046B0AF4A39CB"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\https\UserChoice]
"Progid"="FirefoxURL-308046B0AF4A39CB"

Hello,

I'm having the same problem and I wanted to know how you set up your registry key?
Did you push the key via a WAPT package?
On which systems was this tested? (Windows 7/Windows 10?)

Thanks

Good morning,
After many hours of research and testing, I finally managed to set Firefox ESR 60.4 as the default for all users.

For this, I rely on this utility: https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdef...uild-1607/

My WAPT package: firefox-esr-default:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

uninstallkey = []

def install():
        killalltasks('firefox.exe')
        filecopyto('SetDefaultBrowser.exe','C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox')
        run(r'"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\SetDefaultBrowser.exe" HKLM Firefox-308046B0AF4A39CB')

def session_setup():
        killalltasks('firefox.exe')
        run(r'"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\SetDefaultBrowser.exe" HKLM Firefox-308046B0AF4A39CB')

If you run "wapt-get session-setup ALL" on a machine, an error appears regarding the firefox-esr-default package, BUT the modification works. This occurs on both local and domain accounts.

Yours sincerely.
