Mozilla wasn't pleased about this, and cried foul, again!. His software could no longer intercept the microsoft-edge:// links, meaning the program could not be used to redirect the URLs from the Start Menu's search results, to open in the default browser. The Windows 11 build released at that time, Build 22494, changed the way how file associations are handled. Soon after this, the developer of the open source program, EdgeDeflector, discovered a new problem. The workaround didn't go unnoticed, and a Microsoft spokesperson released a statement to The Verge, which said that a fix would be issued in a future Windows Update, to correct this improper redirection. In September, Mozilla found a fix by reverse engineering the default apps protocol, thus allowing users to set Firefox as the default browser. The unaware user won't know where to look for the setting, and will have to rely on Edge, not by choice, but because they had no idea how to change the browser. It all began when Windows 11 made it more difficult to change the default apps, it requires a few more clicks.
