That's because Microsoft made it impossible to set the default browser(and things like file associations) using scripts and/or registry changes after deployment(because they want to mitigate browser and/or file extension hijacking issues). Well, there is a GPO that loads a .XML where you could set file associations, but it is very inflexible and cumbersome.
Luckily someone was able to work around this new "security feature" in Windows 10: https://kolbi.cz/blog/2017/11/10/setdefaultbrowser-set-the-default-browser-per-user-on-windows-10-and-server-2016-build-1607/ Works excellent in our environment, but use with caution, it could break at any moment because of a windows update. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Enterprise <enterprise-boun...@mozilla.org> Namens Marco Gaiarin Verzonden: dinsdag 26 november 2019 11:54 Aan: enterprise@mozilla.org Onderwerp: [Mozilla Enterprise] Setting FF as default browser in Win10 I was used to set FF as default browser, programmatically, in win7 using, system side: "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /SetAsDefaultAppGlobal (but seems does not work anymore), or: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet" /f /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Firefox-308046B0AF4A39CB" reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /f /v "Check_Associations" /t REG_SZ /d "no" that worked, and on 'user side' (eg, netlogon script): "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /SetAsDefaultAppUser But on win10 seems that does not work, users still have 'edge' as default browser. Why?! Thanks. -- dott.
