Description ecerichter 2013-03-29 03:15:48 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201303272300)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_17
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01

Why does NetBeans stay trying to get a mozilla registry key?
It doesn't seems right, even because I don't have (and I don't want to have) mozilla installed in my system (I do use FireFox, and it is correctly registered in my system).
See attached IDE log for reference.

Comment 2 Tomas Mysik 2013-07-09 06:55:10 UTC 
What is the problem here? It is just an INFO message that Mozilla was not detected (NetBeans tries to detect more browsers), nothing more.

Thanks.
Comment 3 ecerichter 2013-07-09 11:37:06 UTC 
Thanks, I understand.

What I don't understand is why it is doing that all the time, wasting processing time? I expect this being done once or twice during a development session. If this is not possible, then I would like to either:

a) Disable browser detection or
b) Browser detection occur only at IDE start

Would this be a enhancement request instead?

Regards,

Edson

ide log

Please re-evaluate this issue. I'm attaching a log which contains more than 2 thousands lines of these messages from only a short run of the ide. I was doing a simple web inspection of Web Application on Glassfish 4.
Comment 5 Jan Stola 2015-03-23 10:32:51 UTC 
I can confirm that the browser detection is performed several times during IDE session. On the other hand, this detection takes virtually no time (I tried to measure it). So, it makes no performance improvement if we change the corresponding code to perform the detection just once. On the other hand, such a change would mean that newly installed Mozilla is not detected.

I believe that the main problem of this issue was the annoying amount of logging messages from these detection attempts. These logging messages were removed some time ago. Hence, I am closing this issue as "fixed".
