Author Topic: Links keep opening in the wrong webbrowser  (Read 1951 times)

Every time I click a link in Blockland (Steam version), it keeps opening in Palemoon. I've tried setting my default web browser on my computer to Chrome, but it still opens in Palemoon. If anyone knows the solution, please tell.



uninstall it
i've tried that now, and i've restarted my game just in case, no luck. now links just don't open.

Don't need to repeat it.

What Windows are you using? It's definitely not opening the wrong browser.

Blockland checks for a certain key in the registry to determine which browser it's supposed to open.
For whatever reason, browsers aren't setting this key anymore.

I don't remember where it is.

The register key Shift Kitty is talking about is this one:
Quote
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice\Progid

Do you know how to edit your register?
If you don't, be very careful because it can make your computer not start up again if you do it wrong.

Type in start: regedit
Start the program and follow the location mentioned above.

If the "progid" key is "ChromeHTML" then the problem lies somewhere else.
If the "progid" key is either "FirefoxURL" or "IE.HTTP" then you can change it to "ChromeHTML" (without the quotation marks)

Do the same with:
Quote
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\ftp\UserChoice\Progid
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\https\UserChoice\Progid

Yeah, if he has Windows 10 it's probably the reason why Blockland doesn't detect the registry key for the default browser. Mine did this opening Microsoft Edge even though Chrome was actually the default browser.

yeah i'm using windows 10

The register key Shift Kitty is talking about is this one:

no it's not, blockland reads the value of hkey_classes_root/http/shell/open/command and tries to launch that.

should i change anything in there?
also should i change back the "ChromeHTML" then? or should i leave it? i found one that said "Palemoon" in ftp so i changed that.

I don't know what the other key is for, but it's irrelevant for this so you shouldn't change it.

so after changing the hkey_classes_root/http/shell/open/command to instead of opening Palemoon to opening Chrome, it works. Thank you for the help. Locking.
