Steps to reproduce:
Download the latest version of Firefox. e.g. 70.0.1 64 bit. I'm using Windows 10 home Version 1903.
Actual results:
Logged in as administrator. I got the message: "Your standard browser is firefox".
Logged in as normal user: I got the message "Your standard browser is not firefox"
Expected results:
When I tried to change firefox as standard user, I could not select firefox.
There were only options for Edge and Internet Explorer.

Andrei, could someone on your team check whether this is still a problem?

I’ve looked into this issue, but I cannot seem to reproduce the behavior described in comment 0. I was able to set Firefox 70.0.1 64-bit as default browser on an administrator account as well as on the standard account.
Hi usoland, could you please verify it again in latest Firefox Release 71.0, and, it would also help to update your Win 10 Version to 1909 (on which version I personally tested)?
Hi Geogriu Ciprian,
thanks for investigation. Meanwhile I got the latest Firefox release 72.0.1. Now it works fine. I could set Firefox as standard browser. I also have Win 10 Version 1909 in use.
Regards
Urs Soland

That's great, thank you!
I'm going to mark this bug as WFM per comment 3.
