After some more research I found that this seems to work: "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /SetAsDefaultAppUser

The only thing I could do so far is to force https, http and ftp to be opened via registry like: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe\" -osint -url \"%1\"" "DelegateExecute"="{17FE9752-0B5A-4665-84CD-569794602F5C}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe\" -osint -url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ftp\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe\" -osint -url \"%1\"" "DelegateExecute"="{17FE9752-0B5A-4665-84CD-569794602F5C}" But that seems not to be the clean way as in FF it shows me the options to make is default... Thanks, Nicolas From: William Spratt <[email protected]> To:"[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 03 Janvier 2017 16:16 Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Setting Firefox as default using a cmd line Hi All, So during the interactive install, the installer prompts if the user wants Firefox to be the default browser. I install using a VBA script to copy settings files over before silently installing, but I can’t find the setting to make it default. Looking on the internet suggests these command lines should work: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe /SetAsDefaultAppGlobal However, once install is complete I check under “options” in Firefox and it’s still showing “not the default browser”. Running in a Windows 7 environment, but we’re shortly updating to Windows 10. We distribute Firefox via the script in SCCM, but I’m looking to get the script working locally before trying to remotely install though SCCM. Each device tends to only have one user, so not bothered about setting it automatically as default for all Window 7 profiles on the machine. Has anyone dealt with this before?
