J. Büchner created NETBEANS-2435:
------------------------------------
Summary: <Default System Browser> not detected
Key: NETBEANS-2435
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2435
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ide - Welcome
Affects Versions: 11.0
Environment: Windows 10
FireFox 66.0.3
java 10.0.2
Reporter: J. Büchner
Reported for version 9 as error NETBEANS-1064 and marked "Resolved", it still
persists for version 11. See description for NETBEANS-1064 error at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1064?jql=text%20~%20%22Default%20System%20Browser%22
Clicking on "Take a Tour", one gets the following error if FireFox (66 now) is
the system's default browser:
"Could not access the URL through the external browser. Check the browser
configuration."
A newcomer might ask himself after the error message:
"Well, do I have to modify something in the FireFox browser? But what?" So much
more as there is no menu item by the name of "(Browser) Configuration".
One more sentence to the error message, that one has to go to "Tools > Options
>General"
and has to modify "Web Browser" to one's system settings would prevent an
unfriendly welcome to the newcomer.
Still it looks like a bug that the initial setting of <Default System Browser>
does not work.
