Hi, has anybody been successful in enforcing the default web browser on 10.9 or higher?
I started with a configuration profile assuming that would be the right way to go, and I found on 10.9 that it did set it once but did not persist. Well that is not quite true the com.apple.LaunchServices file still says firefox but if I graphically change it to any other browser it changes and persists through reboots.
Next I tried the MCX https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9179 and using the MCX troubleshooting guide https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=144 I have verified that firefox should be the default browser but it does not enforce it ever. through man reboots even.
10.10 it seems that Apple has changed things for the fun of it and com.apple.LaunchServices is a directory with at least one plist inside of it. Neither the MCX or the profile did anything, although using the debug stuff MCX says the default browser is firefox, and yet whatever i change it to works instead and persists. this may be out of bounds for discussion here, I suppose i should go check the Apple Seed chat about this part.
