I see these two prefs about:config about the default browser check.
- browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser
- browser.shell.skipDefaultBrowserCheck
You can consider to set these prefs to false via mozilla.cfg to see if that works better. See Configuration:
You can use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to set or lock preferences and run privileged JavaScript code.
A local-settings.js file needs to be placed in the "defaults/pref" folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
Start mozilla.cfg with a comment line (//).
