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.

Receiver for Chrome Configuration
Created Date: December 19, 2014

Description
This is a tool which can be opened in any browser preferably Google Chrome. This tool can create and edit google policy and .cr configuration files easily which can be used to configure Receiver for Chrome.
Prerequisites
Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox browser.
How to Use Receiver for Chrome Configuration
Today, Citrix Receiver from chrome web store can be configured using .cr files. The .cr file exported from Storefront doesn't have rfweb entry and admin needs to add the entry and distribute the file to various users. Receiver for Chrome can be configured using .cr file using Deploy Receiver for Chrome to your users.
Instead of deploying .cr file to many users, Google policies can be used to configure Receiver for Chrome. This works by using a new feature called App Management which was added in Google Chrome management console for admins to push Chrome app specific policies. To configure Receiver, admin needs to upload a policy text file which contains the settings.
This tool can be used to create/edit the policy file by following the steps mentioned below:
1) Upload an already created .txt google policy file or Enter the appropriate values.
2) Select Google policy as the format to save the information.
3) Click on save button to save the file on the local file system.
The saved policy file created can be directly uploaded in Google Chrome management console to push the policies to Receiver for Chrome.
Note: Google policy required for configuring Receiver for Chrome is currently a tech preview capability from Google. Please contact your Google Sales Representative to get access.
This tool can also be used to create/edit the .cr file that can be distributed to the users to configure Receiver for Chrome in case you cannot use Google Policy.
