238507 - Firefox should set itself as the default browser for current user, rather than all users.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 235380

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[noririty]

Firefox should not warn to ask user if one set as default browser 
when user on Limited User Account.
It's not only annoying but also confusing regression.

(From update of attachment 143255 [details] [diff] [review])
+// Whether or not the application should check at startup each time if it 
+// is the default browser.
+pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", true);

something related?

Does NOT occur on 2004-03-07 08:00:00 or former (Firefox 0.8, Seamonkey)
DOES occur on 2004-03-08 08:00:00 or later

I'm resummarizing this a little.

Firefox sets default browser registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is an
all-users setting and is unavailable if the user account is restricted. 

Firefox should set itself as the default browser under HKEY_CURRENT_USER which
is always available.
