449426 - Port |Bug 447934 – Default browser check doesn't return false if the registry key doesn't exist| to SeaMonkey

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

I did not look into the details,
but Jens Hatlak <jh.at.junetz.de> guess SeaMonkey wants to do this too ?

He noted
"Function and variable names are a bit different in /suite/shell/src/nsWindowsShellService.cpp"

Frank Wein <mcsmurf.at.mcsmurf.de> added
"Some code [in /suite file] is from mail/ shell code to handle multiple application types and the special registry keys needed as default mail client. "

You may want to consider updating the installer and shell service as was done for Thunderbird in bug 404609 which also includes a fix for this bug.

Bug 449423 then ;-)

btw: Bug 449423 also includes file in use support which is SeaMonkey bug 449423. I suspect that Bug 449423 is more applicable since it supports multiple default apps which SeaMnkey also needs to support and Firefox doesn't.

Bug 453797 included/replaced bug 449423.
I don't what/if something remains to do here...

[Robert Kaiser]

Not blocking as it's unclear if anything is still to do here at all.

Frank, you know our default browser code, is this solved?

Comment 6

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Looks like this has been fixed by Bug 453797.
