Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[José Jeria]

Daniel D. pointed out in the mozillazine forums that .html gives an error
message when you try to open them. Even though Firefox is set as the default browser

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Doubleclick any html file on your computer
2. Notice that instead of opening the html file, you will get an error message
saying that the file cannot be found.

Suddenly this is WFM. Very very weird. Same build. Will leave it open for a
while to see if others have the same problem.

I think this is a Windows bug because I saw this error message on several
machines with different programs, i.e. Acrobat Reader. The alert was identical,
but I remember that the Acrobat Reader documents were loaded in the program
_and_ the error was displayed. I never tried to find out why and I think it
disappeared after some time. Maybe the file type is registered wrong or it is
just a problem of Windows itself.

Problem seems to be gone. Hm.
