Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[Mr Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart [:B.RJL]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce:

0. [x] Visit https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/
1. [x] Accept the prompt depicted at https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Firefox-offers-to-register-the-mail-application.png

Actual results:

Nothing occurred. I can't set Outlook as the default mail handler via

kcmshell5 kcm_componentchooser

like I can on Windows (see https://news.softpedia.com/news/windows-11-users-can-now-set-outlook-com-as-the-default-email-app-533955.shtml).

Expected results:

The default mail handler should have become Outlook.
