156383 - Only admin can set mozilla as default browser and it sets for all users

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106933

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[André Fadel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

In Windows XP setting Mozilla as default browser (through Preferences ->
Advanced -> System) as Admin will set it the default browser for every user and
normal (limited) users cannot change this setting. In other words, it is a
global setting that only admin can change. I think this should be an individual
option to each user, limited or admin.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in as admin
2. Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> System, check all boxes, click ok.
3. Log in as limited user. Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> System deselect all
boxes, click ok.

Actual Results:  Looking back at Preferences -> Advanced -> System as the
limited user, all boxes are still checked

Expected Results:  Unchecked all boxes

This sounds like an issue with how WinXP handles default file handlers, not
Mozilla per se.
