Attempting to launch experiences from the web does not launch Roblox Player or Roblox Studio, since file associations are not being created as expected.
This issue started happening recently after updating Roblox Player. I have not updated Windows.
Attempting to launch Roblox Studio from the web yields the following error:
Going into settings to check default apps for link associations provides nothing:
Same thing happens with Roblox Player. Attempting to launch an experience from the web yields the following:
Going into settings to check default apps for link associations provides nothing:
Pressing “Choose a default” doesn’t allow me to choose any app, because I am assuming that Roblox Player has to create the link associations on its own.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Roblox several times. The issue persists. This issue does not exist with other link associations, such as Zoom. I have also attempted to switch browsers to no avail.

Hi @RobertCorbet, thank you for the report. In addition to trying other browsers, here are some suggestions if you want to continue using Firefox. Please do these after a fresh re-install:
Go to Firefox Settings and scroll down to Applications section. If there is a roblox-player and/or roblox-studio content type, try to manually associate them to the correct application.
Try to open Roblox Player or Roblox Studio using the desktop shortcut at least once before launching the applications from the web.
Try emptying %LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\Versions directory and re-install.
I’m not sure what got you into a bad state, but I hope one of these actions get you out of it.
