Links from Outlook no longer work. Switched to Waterfox after last Firefox change on 2 computers, since none of my plug-ins will work with new Firefox. Set Waterfox as default, and checked all file associations. Checked Registry on both computers, and "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice" still shows "FirefoxURL-6F940AC27A98DD61". I tried entering "WaterfoxURL", and that didn't work. Also tried switching default to Chrome and then back to Waterfox, and that didn't work.

What is the proper registry entry for Waterfox?

After messing with it for a couple hours, and trying a number of things in RegEdit, I found that opening Waterfox as Administrator, resetting it as default browser, closing it, then opening normally fixed it. Under Administrator, for some reason, Edge was showing as the default browser rather than Waterfox, even though I had switched the default back and forth between Chrome and Waterfox a couple of times under the normal startup. Edge didn't even show up in any of the RegEdit registries that I looked at, so not sure why it thought Edge was the default. I've never done anything with Edge or allowed any Edge installations. Anyhow, glad I found Waterfox and got it to work. Hopefully they won't mess it up like they did Firefox.
