There’s a modal prompt that opens on startup after every clobber asking me if I want to set the local build as my default browser (I don’t). Are there any objections to defaulting browser.shell.checkDefaultBrow<wbr>ser to false in local builds? We already do this for tests.<br>

Please yes. This is one of my biggest development pet peeves...</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Unpopular opinion: I don't think this is a good idea. The code involved in checking whether we are the default browser has had performance issues (see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1357146">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1357146</a>) and is in my humble opinion not so nice behavior which we've wanted to fix (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1143116">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1143116</a>) for all users.
