Setting file associations via command line

[Thane K. Sherrington]

Hi All,
    Is there a way via command line (batch or powershell) to set associations to Firefox?  I know about SetUserFTA, but I'm thinking about extensions like - shtml, svg, and webp - in W11 these are set to Edge, and I'd prefer Firefox.

I chatted with the team and we don't have a way to do that in Firefox. The only suggestion was:

Group policy can be used for this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-applicationdefaults

SetUserFTA certainly should work for shtml, svg, webp just as well as it works for anything else... but of course it's a hack

Thanks Mike, I'll give that a try.  It's beyond how MS changed the file association system to make it so restrictive that only MS and criminals can change the settings easily.
