When installing Opera 73 on Windows 10, the installer seems to automatically do user actions such as open "Default apps" settings window -> open drop down for Web browser -> select Opera -> close window

Similarly Opera manages to pin itself to the taskbar automatically which seems to no longer work for Firefox on Windows 10.

mhowell, do you know how this happens and if Firefox has any existing code that could be modified to work on Windows 10 better than just opening the Default apps window?
