With new Windows 10 Anniversary Update MS Edge is being foisted upon us.
You can set SeaMonkey as your default browser, but secure url shortcuts
ALWAYS open in Edge! See attachment where you can see other installed
browsers for HTTPS protocol but whatever you select I always stays as
Edge. So far I have not found a way around this.
A demonstration of what I mean. Go to a secure website, Google is a easy
choice, they now only use https. Drag a temporary shortcut to the
desktop. Double click it and no matter what your default web browser is
set for the link will open in Edge...
I am not seeing that here. Win 10 builds 14905, 14915.
Here is my version of the same picture, showing the HTTPS protocol is
associated with Firefox not Edge. ---> http://i.imgur.com/99PjSpe.png
Interestingly, when I go to Google (a secure website), drag a temporary
shortcut to the desktop and double-click it, it opens in K-Meleon my
previous web browser (also Gecko-based). So there is something
inconsistent going on, but whatever it is, it is not MS forcing you to
use Edge. I am inclined to think that different parts of the registry
have not been kept in sync with each other.
