Licensing: [Mac Sequoia 15.6.1] Logging in through the IDE does not respect users default web browser and forces Opera GX

[sihammill]

What Is The Bug?

Clicking on the profile icon in the top right of the IDE on Mac and clicking the Sign In/Register button results in the Opera GX browser opening and not respecting the users default web browser choice that is set in the system settings.

We have a few Macs all showing the same, despite being set to either Chrome or Firefox in the settings for the Mac.

Expected Change

Opens the OS's default web browser

Steps To Reproduce

1. Ensure your default web browser is set to something other that Opera GX (Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Default Browser)
2. Start GameMaker
3. Click the Sign In/Register button from the profile icon in the top right of the IDE
4. Notice Opera GX opens
5. See the issue

How reliably can you recreate this issue using your steps above?

Always
