Hi. Thanks for filing. This is working as intended. We can't be sure that the user's default browser is in good working order, whereas the default system browser (IE or Edge) is almost always likely to be functional.

User selected FF, because user wanted FF to be used.

In various situations like this IE or Edge can be not properly configured (wrong font size, etc.) because it's not used at all.

If you're not sure, that this is good selection, you should ask "what browser do you want to use?"

The last feeling in this case for such user can be - Chrome is not respecting my settings.

Hmm. This is good perspective. Re-opening so we can discuss and see how to move forward. Thanks.

I think it makes sense that we try to launch the user's default browser and then fallback to Edge/IE if the launch fails. Making this one available.
