Steps to reproduce:

This is related to a bug that was closed without any change to this issue (bug 1567206). <snip>

Open any Windows store page on a Windows version of Firefox, e.g. 
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nksqgp7f2nh?hl=en-us&gl=US
Click on the "View in Store" button

Actual results:

The Windows App Store in the operating system opens


Expected results:

Firefox should prompt for permission before opening the Windows store app.

This was previously discussed in bug 1567206. The separate default comes from bug 866065, before we had per-site permissions for protocols. The UX now is better, and we're no longer trying to build for Metro and its single-window modes, so I think it's fine to provide the same security functionality as Chrome, rather than following Edge (which opens without prompting).
