I apologise if this is the wrong forum to bother people with this seeing as it's not a probably a problem caused by mIRC itself, but I recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and while most things have come over OK, for some reason internet links posted on mIRC chat no longer open in Firefox (or any of my other browsers). I can still right click the links posted and the options to Open Link and Open Link in New Window come up, just that nothing happens when I click them.
This is not a major issue but it's surprising how annoying it can get. I assume it's due to something preventing mIRC from controlling the browsers, the antivirus and firewall programs being the usual culprits. Thus, to test this I briefly disabled both (Avira and COMODO, respectively) of them and tried opening a link. This didn't help. I also tried giving mIRC full privileges.
What does fix it is running mIRC in admin mode, but I'd rather not do that, seeing as it's a minor security threat, causes a pop-up every time I run the application and just isn't otherwise necessary.
So I suppose my question is if there some way to tell Windows 10 to play nice with mIRC and let it open links as normal without giving the latter admin rights? Or perhaps there's some other workaround for the problem?
