Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
I followed the instructions as well, and, yes, it doesn't correct the error of earlier installations but once you fix it (choose the default browser you want to be the default) it won't mess it up again. AND, best of all, new installations work perfectly! It's a long way around, but if you keep good...

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
What Matt said is exactly right -- we just need to know how to set it so it will do what it is told. Right now, you can set it any way you can imagine and, when it upgrades (or uninstalls) no browser is the default and everyone is unhappy.

Re: Firefox 3.5
That's cool! Is there ANY chance this issue ( http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=502 ) will be resolved when you release 3.5? It makes the difference between this being a viable and extremely useful project for the corporate enviroment and this being a nice idea that just won't work....

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
What's the best emoticon to express shear desparation with this problem? or or perhaps
Such a good idea, such a great tool, and yet it has this fatal flaw...that is apparently impossible to repair. That is, unless DraconPern can save the day for us all.

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
That's excellent, jpa! Now, DraconPern, can you take this research and solve the problem in the installer?

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
DraconPern, I can't tell if you are monitoring this thread or not. Are we helping you figure this problem out or not? I really, really want to use this method to maintain my users installations but this just kills me every time.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
It's not just non-English installations with this problem. We have this problem and our builds are English and we have C:\Program Files.
It must have something to do with the upgrade process.

Re: Do not make Firefox default browser during installation
I think you are on to something. I found that if I manually uninstalled FF and set IE as the default browser (if it wasn't already) and then rolled out FF with the appropriate settings and tweaks, it left the default browser setting alone. There must be something about the uninstall during an upgrad...

Re: 3.0.9 is fairly ready
We're doing exactly what you say for the Firefox CE edition. It doesn't behave as suggested. FF always becomes the default browser.

Re: 3.0.9 is fairly ready
Those are two differenct ideas. I did an "administrative install" (msiexec /a) to extract out the files so I could edit the msi and the pref files, and I used "Install Level" = 3.

Re: 3.0.9 is fairly ready
This version, like those before it, makes Firefox the default browser no matter what you do to alter the installation. I've followed all the instructions and nothing seems to prevent this from happening. I am at a total loss. This was a fantastic method for me to use to keep my entire campus up-to-d...

Re: Firefox 3.0.8 is now out
Should we try this again to see if the "default browser" issue is fixed? I had no luck with 3.0.7.
