2065138 - Firefox startup no longer honors default browser policies

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, defect)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

When you start Firefox with a new profile on Windows, we get all the stuff asking to set the default browser regardless of the policy settings (Both DontCheckDefaultBrowser and DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled)

Did you want to nominate this for the Fx156 relnotes? If so, set the relnote-firefox flag to "?"
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Release_Notes_Nomination

Possible wording:

Fixed the DontCheckDefaultBrowser and DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled policies being ignored when Firefox started with a new profile.

[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: Fixed the DontCheckDefaultBrowser and DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled policies being ignored when Firefox started with a new profile.
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]:

Should go in the enterprise section.
