I'm going to test gtk_show_uri() (and the _on_window variant) on Windows, maybe it works for file:// and http:// URIs even without GVFS what should be well enough for opening URLs in the browser.

I would prepare a PR to do the following:

• remove the "firefox" default browser on Windows, letting it undefined for Windows
• change the behavior to use the configured browser command on Windows for opening URIs
• fallback to gtk_show_uri if no browser command is configured (or fallback to ShellExecute if gtk_show_uri does not work)
• maybe check for the configured browser command to not equal "firefox" which was the previous default value on Windows which most probably won't work for most users except they added firefox to their $PATH which is unlikely; this would help users with existing configurations
