Setting Tor Browser as default browser does not work in Wndows 7
For whatever reason, Aurora fails to establish itself as the default browser in Windows 7.
Using Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General on Aurora 9.0.1, I press the "Check Now" button, which informs me that
"Aurora is not currently set as your default browser. Would you like to make it your default browser?"
After pressing "yes", nothing else happens, suggesting success. But there is no success, a second check shows that nothing has changed.
Whatever the reason for the failure, the Tor Browser should at least check this itself, and, in case of a failure, inform about this and suggest additional information.
It seems quite dangerous, because other applications using Tor, like Torchat, refer to the default browser if one clicks on a link. So one may click on a critical link believing that one already has established the Tor browser as the default browser.
