   > is the ide/extbrowser/manifest.mf conflict something I need to resolve?
   
   Yes please. The release branch for NetBeans 20 was created a few days ago 
and as part of branching in master the next development iteration is prepared 
by incrementing the minor versions (see 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/commit/3efd651e73d2775fe694949015d5351ba7fe01f4).
   
   > when is testing taking place?
   
   Testing as in "tests run on github" happens once it is cleared by a 
committer. The "Checks" page in the PR shows the status of the automatic tests, 
once they are run. This all assumes that you did local checks. A manual test 
with you modified code is possible running `ant` to build netbeans and then 
`ant tryme` to startup the freshly build NetBeans with a test userdir. The 
automatic tests can be ran with `ant -f <dir_of_module> test` (for example `ant 
-f ide/extbrowser test`) or invoking "Test" from the context menu of the 
project in the IDE.
   
   > I've worked out the Advapi32Util for getting the browser executable, I can 
merge it into my pull request but I don't know whether it's too late for the 
latest round of testing.
   
   This would be good from my POV.
   
   > Additionally I've just realized that I haven't done a commit squash as set 
out in the Contributing Code Guidelines but I can't see the option in netbeans 
git menu or in github itself, is this something that needs to done through git 
cli?
   
   If I remember correctly NetBeans does not have a GUI for rebasing and I 
would not trust the github options. Github destroys author information and that 
is not acceptable from my POV, so I normally use git cli.
   
   This might help: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_interactive_mode
   
   Before doing a rebase with your work branch (`java_registry_read`) I suggest 
you try it first on a copy of the branch.
