Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 by running a failing Gradle test and clicking the file:/// report link in the output. Trace the NetBeans path that handles this link and verify that the report opens in the user's chosen web browser rather than Internet Explorer. No source file or test is named in the issue, so locating the entry point is part of the work.
