[FIXED] Firefox not opening hyperlinks in run dialogue/programs
Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2019 10:04 am
... this is caused by the entries in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\firefox.exe\shell\open\command
With FrontMotion Firefox MSI v69.0 the registry value is
Leaving out either "-requestPending" or "-osint" will repair this behaviour. The Installer from Mozilla doesn't have the parameter "-requestPending" which let Firefox wait for a following DDE call. The ddeexec section in each registry key is empty when using Mozilla's installer - so DDE calls may be deprecated?
Edit: it is easy to generate a transform file for the MSI with Orca/SuperOrca/Insted, just change
Kind regards, ldlx
