Receive the following error msg when trying to open a HTML file every time on the hard drive by double-clicking and Mozilla is set as default browser:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  <path/filename.htm>                                          | X |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                   |
|    (X)   Cannot find the file '<path/filename.htm>' (or one of    |
|          its components). Make sure the path and filename are     |
|          correct and that all required libraries are available.   |
|                                                                   |
|                             ----------                            |
|                             |   OK   |                            |
|                             ----------                            |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+


Usually file will still open, but once in a while can't open file.  Yet file will open every time without problem by dragging the it to the Quick Launch icon in the task bar.

BTW:  I forgot to add that I tried reinstalling Mozilla, also.  This is one of the first things I do whenever I come across a bug in any app.  I will try uninstalling first, then reinstall app. :-)

Good news!  I had to completely uninstall Mozilla (including all leftover registry entries not removed by uninstaller).  After reinstalling, HTML files open up without complaints or error msg.

NOTE:  I had to manually remove leftover entries in the registry by doing a registry search with REGEDIT, using the keyword "mozilla", before this fix would work.
