I've enabled html5 in storefront so users in kiosk machines can access it without downloading receiver. However, since enabling this, chrome and firefox defaults the application launch in HTML5 regardless if the local citrix receiver client is installed. For Internet Explorer, the ICA download gets triggered and the user can click on it and uses the local receiver.

Is there any global settings I can change to default it to the local receiver first and if it is not installed, launch HTML5? I know you can change the setting in storefront (to use full version) but i do not want to do this for everyone manually. The setting on the storefront server is already set to use html5 if local receiver is unavailable.
Thanks
