139604 - Attempting to make Mozilla default system browser hangs in XP

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[jesse]

I have a brand new Windows XP (Professional edition) system, and just after
installing Zone Alarm (www.zonealarm.com) personal free firewall, and Activating
Windows XP, I downloaded Release Canddiate 1 from mozilla.org (the full version
with talkback).  On execution, I get the "Mozilla is not your default browser,
do you want it to be?" message.  Clicking "yes" hangs mozilla.  No talkback
error seems to be generated, and I'm left having to kill off the hanging
process.  Restarting the process (with fast load option on or off) reproduces
the problem.  If I decline to have mozilla become the default browser,
everything seems to work fine.

Do you have admin rights on that system ?

Yes, the account I was using to install had admin rights, and I have admin rights
for any tests you may need me to make in the future. -Jesse

WFM, also this bug was encountered using an old (3+ weeks) build of Mozilla, if
this bug persists using a current build, please get this bug reopened.
