Kim, does the setbrowser utility set these reg entries? If setbrowser
fixes this, then we should just reference the utility and it wouldn't be
specific to a particular browser..
Just a thought..

Hi devs,
A friend of mine still has Firefox problems, and I think I've found a
solution/workaround.
There are two distinct problems:
1) Default google search (or most other searches) throws a script error
2) Ctrl+Enter for domain name completion throws a script error
The difference between the two is that (1) does ShellExecute on
DQSDLaunch.html, which invokes the default handler for .html.
(2) does ShellExecute on a URL (http://something), which invokes the handler
for "http".
It turns out there's a bug with the Mozilla 0.9 series (not sure if it's
fixed yet), in that it doesn't correctly set itself up as a default browser.
There's a fix available at [1], that sets Mozilla Firefox up as the default
handler for http, https, ftp and gopher. This seems to correct the second
issue.
For the first one, I haven't found a documented fix, but I went in and
meddled with my registry manually and came to the conclusion that this:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe\" %1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec\Application]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe\" %1"
sorts it out.
I'm not sure how we should go about supporting this properly - we could just
choke the errors from ShellExecute, but that feels bad in a way. Or we wait
for Mozilla to sort their business out, and post some .reg scripts to
dqsd.net in the meantime.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Kim
