[freenet-support] Freenet Crash Upon Startup in Chrome/ Cannot Choose Firefox for Browser

[Lucario Moore]

Fresh after install, Freenet tries and fails to open in Chrome. My Wrapper log 
is included as an attatchment. I'd also like to change the default browser to 
Firefox but it only shows Chrome and IE (Which I don't have installed).

In that case I think what's happening is Freenet launches, the tray app
notes that it has launched, it starts the browser, then Freenet crashes
shortly after because it can't find its files. Moving it to a folder
without special characters in the path to it (like C:\Freenet ) should
fix it.

The next question is why your Firefox isn't detected. We can get more
information once I'm able to add detailed logging on browser detection,
but for the time being - are your comfortable looking at your registry
to find where the Firefox installation is listed? The tray searches in a
few locations already [0] but apparently we're missing some.

Yes, it is, thanks. Between this and your wrapper.log I notice two things:

1. The "!" in your username is preventing Freenet from finding resources
it needs.
2. Freenet is really unstable and slow on your system.

What happens if you move the Freenet installation (or reinstall it;
whichever) to a path which does not contain "!", like C:\Freenet? The
"!" shouldn't be a problem, so that's a bug, but until we can figure out
how to fix it this might help.

As far as the browser behavior the log doesn't include enough
information for me to see what's going on. I'll have to add more logging
and release a new version. Worth noting, though, is that Chrome reports
success to the tray app, otherwise it would try other browsers. In what
way does it fail to open in Chrome?

I was having the same issue, I uninstalled chrome then ran the setup of
freenet  it then opened in Firefox, then reinstall chrome Firefox should be
your freenet default I'm no expert but it worked for me, I'm guessing that
lucario moore didn't uninstall ie prob just turned off in windows  programs
and features, I don't know how freenet would start if the feature is turned
off though

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Can you please open [0] the
Preferences window, [1] set "Debug logging" to "Debug," click "Apply,"
try opening the browser with the tray app, and send the resulting
FreenetTray.log?

What versions of Chrome and Firefox do you have? The tray app requires
Firefox 29 or later because it introduced a way to launch URLs in a new
private tab. How did you uninstall IE?
