Details

Preconditions

  • An admin account is already set on your computer;
  • A child account is already set on your computer.

Note: - This test can be run ONLY WHEN the child's account is linked to the parent's Microsoft Account.

Affected versions

  • Fx 74.0b3

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

  1. Log in as an ADMIN(parent) in windows.
  2. Install Firefox for all the computer users.
  3. Navigate to https://account.microsoft.com/family/ -> More Options -> Content Restrictions.

Expected result

  • Firefox is displayed either in the 'Always allowed' section or in the 'Always blocked'.

Actual result

  • Firefox isn't displayed as an always blockable/allowable app.

Regression range

  • I'm not sure this is a regression as it seem to be related to the web app as well.

Additional notes

  • This looks more like a web - app related issue that a Firefox issue.
  • Firefox only appears in the Apps and Games Limits (setting only a time limit for use, not 'always blocked').
  • Multiple install locations have been tried (custom and default), but the web-app wouldn't recognize Firefox as something be set to 'always blocked'.
  • Firefox does not appear in the web-app list even if the app has been used by the child and should be registered as such.

This doesn't feel like the right component and I'm unsure if it's a bug at all.
