Bug Description

The installer on Windows offers to make Midori my default browser. But as far as I can tell it never changes anything. This is Midori 0.4 on Windows Vista Business 32-Bit.

I noticed there's a page in the control panel to choose a browser as well, but it doesn't contain Midori. I'm guessing there's a registry key that needs to be set, that say Midori can open http/https.

I've noticed this with SRWare Iron, try running it as Admin and setting as default. That's what you have to do for Iron.

Did you try with a current release? The original bug was about 0.4 which is quite old.

The installer doesn't change the default browser, and Midori isn't in the default programs list
