Look for the Mozilla Maintenance Service name and double click on it to open the Properties window. Click the Start button, type services.msc in the Search programs and file bar and followed by hitting the Enter key. You can also find the Mozilla Maintenance Service from the Services Snap-in. You can find the Mozilla Maintenance Service program (maintenanceservice.exe) installed in the following path C:\Program Files\Mozilla Maintenance Service\ together with an uninstaller (Uninstall.exe). If you’ve updated to Firefox 12 from an older version,the Mozilla Maintenance Service will be installed by default and the same goes to the new installation if you selected the Standard setup option. Starting from Firefox 12, it is capable of installing updates silently without prompting the User Account Control window by using the Mozilla Maintenance Service. As for Firefox, it is installed in Program Files folder and making any changes in that location requires higher permission which is why you get the UAC window prompt. It is by design that the AppData folder doesn’t require any notification when a change is being made in that folder. The Google Chrome is one of such software that doesn’t require UAC elevation when you install or update it because it is installed in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) folder. *could* put up the SPA&D control panel and let the user pick the next default himself - but, admittedly, that's a lot of work for little gain.Īlso: I believe I've read that in Vista, IE will be an uninstallable component of Windows, so won't necessarily be available as a general fallback.With the User Account Control enabled by default starting from Windows Vista, installing most software and drivers will prompt the UAC window requesting for permission to copy files into protected areas in your hard drive. Even cooler (for 2K/XP): if the previous default can't be retrieved, and we see in the registry more than one available client, we So, I think it would be worth the effort to retrieve the 'Desktop' backups and actually check that the indicated program is still valid, dropping back to IE only as a backup. If an Opera user uninstalls and finds himself back at IE, his opinion of Mozilla is further eroded. The most likely scenario for uninstalling a Moz browser (or other client) while it's set as default is one where someone tries it out and decides they don't like it they'll want the uninstall to put them back where they were. Set the user's previous browser as default. In the first case, I think it's important to at least make the effort to re. Comment 8 suggested a way to reduce the possibility of case #2 happening. Was pointed to, or Moz overwrites the keys when a new or parallel version of I can think of two ways this would happen: user uninstalls the browser that Mike, the values stored can easily become incorrect afterwards.
