[Bug 19089] New: Mozilla Firefox doesn't detect IE as installed? Doesn't attempt to import settings from IE

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19089

Summary: Mozilla Firefox doesn't detect IE as installed?
                    Doesn't attempt to import settings from IE
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.24
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.getfirefox.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Mozilla Firefox doesn't appear to detect IE as installed. On first run on
windows, Firefox asks if you'd like to import your settings from IE (or some
other browsers if installed). On wine, this gets skipped.

I tried installing ie6 from winetricks to see if perhaps we're missing a
file/registry key that it would install, but no luck.

incremet iexplore version

the only thing i found in the ff-source is a test for ie7.
it checks for a registry-key, the path-variable and the file version(which can
be changed with this patch)
you can see it in: nsIEProfileMigrator.cpp in browser/components/migration/src
(e.g.:
http://www.google.de/codesearch/p?hl=de&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc#e_ObwTAV...)

but even if i do all the dependencies i cant get the import question after
installing. did i missed something?

Perhaps it needs the other registry keys. Or you may want to look where that
code gets called from. Likely there is some initial test to detect IE _at all_,
then from there, it detects IE version/home page/etc.

If I'm reading that right (probably not), seems that if XP_WIN is defined, that
IE should be automatically imported. The question then is, is XP_WIN not
working properly on Wine, and if so, why?

it looks for the key
hkcr\Applications\iexplore.exe\shell\open\command
which is the merged view of the key in hklm on windows.
We are missing two things:
-the merged view of hkcr (Bug #14771)
-defining the key in hklm

or we directly define hkcr\Applications\iexplore.exe\shell\open\command ?

Is this still an issue in Wine 1.7.45 or later?

I have seen wine-stagign and firefox combination asking you to import ie
content into firefox.

But I don't know if anything was fixed in wine.

wine-staging 1.9.12
