My question is, by writing which keyword in the Google Chrome Address Bar, the Firefox program will be called and opened separately.

Answer 1

In most modern OSes, you can register protocols to be handled by a specific app. You can see an example of this in this stack overflow question, and you can read more about in the Group Policy documentation. In this case, Microsoft decided to include a custom protocol handler to open Microsoft Edge, presumably so they could make links that specifically open in Microsoft Edge on Windows devices. The other major browsers do not appear to do this by default, but for your own personal computer, you can register custom protocol handlers, which should cause any browser on the OS to open browser-specific links correctly. Note that other OSes may not honor microsoft-edge as a protocol (notably, because Edge doesn't exist on most other OSes). Browsers themselves also allow registration of custom protocols via Navigator.registerProtocolHandler, although this support is only for web apps.
