Currently we directly open the windows store app whenever a site navigates to `ms-windows-store://. This was introduced in Bug 866065. For the macOS app store, we don't have any exceptions and always show the permission prompt **and** the application chooser. I propose we streamline this behavior by for both macOS and windows. For both protocols we should skip the application chooser and only show the permission prompt. This is a good tradeoff between UX and security. This also adopts the behavior of chromium browsers. See screenshots attached.
