Firefox (15) inserts a "Firefox HTML document" in Windows Explorer File New menu. It breaks my works patterns (Alt FWF stops working). Need to disable.

I often use the shortcut Alt FWF to create new directories on Windows.
When FF 15 is set as default it alters the File New menu from Windows Explorer.
It inserts a "Firefox HTML document" item.
This item seems to sabotage the above key combination. It intercepts the last F.
In addition I object to the naming which is plain wrong, for me.
I have deleted the registry key that inserts this thing. Unfortunately it re-appears.
I want to stop this behaviour.
How do I kill this. (Other than by making another browser the default.)

I'm not seeing that on Windows 7 (which I'm sure is no consolation to you).
Since Folder usually is the top item on the new items menu, can you use
 Alt+f w Enter
until someone comes up with <s>a better workaround</s> an actual solution?

Firefox incorrectly identifies .xlsx attachments as Firefox HTML documents

When I try to open attachments with .xlsx file extensions, Firefox identifies as a Firefox HTML document and the "open file" window does not show Excel as an option - when I try to Browse to Excel the window does not open to "my programs" where I might be able be able to designate the correct association. (it shows "Program Data" and "Program files" but these don't work to make the association. The file will save ok but, I want to be able to open them as I can easily do in IE. Is the only solution to give up on Firefox and go back to IE?

When I get to the content type window, there is no reference to Excel or .xlsx or anything similar, so I cannot change anything in the Action choice..

After last update, many of my attachments have changed to "Firefox" HTML Document

I Keep a "master file" on the desktop of genealogy data, and numerous graphics used in e-mails. It appears that about the
time of the last update to Firefox, many of my graphics, and other information have changed from their original designations (e.g. jpeg,, etc.) to FIREFOX. I can open the files by changing to "open with windows viewer", however if I copy it, after opening, it will not paste into my e-mails. They will not even paste into Paint. What in the world could have occurred?? If it is opened without changing it from Firefox, it only shows gibberish. I attempted to add an image, however even when it has been copied to the desktop it will not show up so I can add it to this message. These items in the file show up as Firefox HTML Document.
HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE SUCH AS THIS PREVIOUSLY IN THE MANY, MANY YEARS I'VE USED FIREFOX. The icon showing
up is the FF icon on all of these, and not what was there originally. I have been struggling for quite some time attempting to determine what the problem is.
ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED.

cor-el: The extensions were originally jpg, gif, etc.
I have been having problems with KEEPING Firefox as my default
browser, and this is because I noted that it had changed and was
suddenly NOT my default browser. This has been occurring on a continuous basis after one of the last FF updates. Just long enough, apparently to mess up my graphics, and other information which I have
kept in my Master Folder. Very disheartening. This occurred every few days, so I continued to keep checking it each time I opened FF, changing it
back to my default browser.
Therefore I changed nothing, only noted that many times FF was showing as "not being my default" browser, although it appeared that was, and I do not use the IE although I do have it (for emergencies).
This, apparently is an insurmountable problem, not of my making, and I do not know how to solve it. I will attempt to go to the link you have provided however I may not have time today.
Thank you so very, very much for your recommendation, I will see what I can do.

Firefox has changed all my Adobe PDFs to Firefox HTML Documents!

I was having trouble opening up new pdfs -- Firefox would start opening up multiple tabs until I closed firefox -- and then I realized that (a) it did the same for opening existing pdfs, and (b) it had changed the file type on all my existing pdfs to Firefox HTML documents. Quite disturbing. Adobe Acrobat and Firefox are both up-to-date...what can I do to restore proper settings?

cor-el,
Your suggestions didn't work. But the solution to this problem is found -
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1012877?esab=a&s=pdfs+become+firefox+html&r=11&as=s
The chosen solution works. All you need to do is apply (in my case in windows explorer on an acient XP machine) it to one pdf file that has been changed to a firefox html file, and it will change ALL the corrupted PDF files back to PDFs. It will leave those files that actually are HTML files alone. FWIW

Why is dreamweaver cs6 saving my files as a firefox html document?

Hi, I am using dreamweaver cs6 on win xp sp 3 and it keeps saving my files as a firefox html document and connot figure out how to stop this as i need to get on to my ftp to upload files. It also loaded my site files from dreamweaver cs 5 as a firefox html document. I am running firefox ver 13.0.1. Any Help would be usefeful. I tried google searching and found nothing. And the adobe general help didn't wok either.

Firefox is probably your default web browser which launches anytime you click on an .htm or .html file.
If you want HTML files to launch inside Dreamweaver instead of Firefox, open your file manager (Windows Explorer), and change file associations for .html & .htm files. When you do this, the icon next to those files will change from FF to DW.

My PDF files are now identified as Firefox HTML documents, how to fix it?(only icons changed, extension is still .pdf)

After I uninstalled Firefox, all icons returned to usual PDF icons and files were identified as "PDF" files,
but when I installed Firefox (31.0) again, all PDF files again are identified as "Firefox HTML document".
Extensions do not change, they are always .pdf, and files automatically open in Adobe Acrobat,
but icons became "firefox HTML documents" icons and it is very confusing.

Thanks Robinson3 !
The most economical solution.
Not only worked for PDF files but also for other similar problem.
Of all offered solutions this looks the most bang on.
Hope, the problem will not return (but even if it returns the solution
is so fast and simple).
I did exactly the following (all steps included) :
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types > New > PDF>Advanced>
>Associated File Type, and choose "Adobe PDF reader"

Hi NACCACHE, when you make Firefox your default browser, Windows will display the document type for certain files (especially .html files) as "Firefox HTML Document". If you switch your default browser to a different browser, such as Internet Explorer, the description will change.
Are you having a problem with the description appearing with documents that are not normally of the type that display in a web browser?

All my pdf documents have turned into firefox html documents and will not open correctly

All my pdf documents have suddenly become firefox html docs & will not open unless I go into the folder, right click, 'open with', etc. I haven't changed any of my settings. I think firefox did an update yesterday, however, so I'm connecting it with that, possibly...

Try this:
# Right click your PDFs, click Properties
# Go to the General tab
# In the '''Opens with''' section, click the ''Change'' button
# Select Adobe Reader (or Foxit Reader/Whatever PDF viewer you use)
# Click Apply then OK.
Does it work then?

When I convert a word document to a pdf, it shows up as a firefox html document

Recently I reloaded my acrobat pro and ever since when I convert a word file to a pdf, it shows as a firefox html file. Why?

Hi chief grunt,
It seems that the pdf ownership is taken over by Firefox.
Right click on the generated file and select 'Open with' > Choose Default program.
In the list of Programs that appear select Adobe Acrobat and click on 'Apply> Ok'
You can also check the setting in Acrobat > Edit> Preferences> General> Defalult pdf handler

Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1
Have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox. Deleting all history, cookies, etc.

It works ok for me but then I am not using Flash 11.3 on Windows.
I can see http://news.wsu.edu/ ok
When I try http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1. I get a mainly blank page with an error message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07' 
Error converting data type char to int. 
/Includes/SiteIncludes.asp, line 30
Possibly the link is not quite correct. (trailing dot ?)
Selecting a "sound slide" does however work ok for me I get a slide show with very loud music.

'''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use. You may find it works if you downgrade to FlashPlayer 11.2 or 10.3''' There have been known issues with FlashPlayer on Windows Firefox systems. Developers from Flash & Firefox have been working on the problem, but despite new updates to both FlashPlayer and Firefox in recent days, problems may still be occurring.
Note also there is a related but separate problem on some systems with RealPlayer. If you have Real Player installed please say so, and especially mention if that includes video download or recording options.
The current standard response to the Flash Player 11.3 (Windows Firefoz) problem is as follows, (but advice may change over the next few days):
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

Please tell us if this helped!
This is the sort of thing that your own IT department may well be able to help offer advice on, and if it is the problem I suspect, then it is likely to impact on many site users.
They may also be interested in the possibility of deploying Firefox ESR for themselves and students.

Wanting to open a HTML document in users default browser using Menu Items

I have a couple of Menu items that I want to open up various HTML documents.
menuHelpItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
});I've seen a couple of 'solutions' to people asking about opening files, but none even compiled never mind ran. It's in my parent program, and any solution needing to throw IOException (lots of things annoyingly seem to) that'll mean the listeners need to which never seems to work. Even if it did though, the class would have to and so would all the others. Messy.
Best I've done is open up a new JEditorPane based on the url of the HTML files, but this is definately not good enough as the font, layout, links are all screwed and if I could fix it, it would no doubt take longer than I have.
So basically, say you have a button, how do you make it open "resources/SearchHelp.html"?

"http://www.google.com"; //
Interesting. I changed my code to this:
private void showHelp(String url)
     try
          String[] cmd = new String[5];
          cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
          cmd[1] = "/C";
          cmd[2] = "rundll32";
          cmd[3] = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
          cmd[4] = PronunciationDictionary.class.getResource(url).toString();
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
     catch (IOException e)
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Unable to load help file. Please try again.", "Help - Dictionary A'la Lewis", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}and I printed out PronunciationDictionary.class.getResource(url).toString(); before trying it and that worked fine. I click on the buttons but nothing happens, no error which is good, but nothing else either, which is bad. I thought maybe I was just doing it wrong, so I tried replacing it with just http://www.google.com but same thing, nothing happened at all.

I cannot open the word or PPT documents on windows explorer

I have set up WD My Cloud on my Mac and PC (windows 7).
I am having a problem when I am trying to remotely access the Word and PPT documents on PC (Windows explorer console)... when I double click on a specific word or PPT I get the message: "The server wdmycloud-device 2443682 wd2go is asking for your username and password. The server reports it is from Device Driver". I fill in the My Cloud username and password in the pop-up window....but nothing happens?!??" I would highly appreciate any feedback.

This is a known issue. See the following WD Suupport link for more information. Microsoft Office documents in a device connected through WD My Cloud Remote Web Access cannot be opened The easy workaround to this issue is to use the WD My Cloud Desktop application to open the file into their Microsoft Office application, then edit, then save any Microsoft Office files that are already stored on the WD My Cloud. One obviously will have to copy the Microsoft Office files they want to work on to their WD My Cloud first. The following link, while for the WD My Book Live and from 2012, may (or may not) also work on the WD My Cloud but I have not tried it. It involves using SSH to setup the same username/password one uses on their Windows PC. I typically copy the content to the WD My Cloud then use the WD My Cloud Desktop app remotely to open, edit and save the document to the My Cloud drive. WD2go (webDAV) and MS Office 2013

Firefox (15) inserts a "Firefox HTML document" in Windows Explorer File New menu. It breaks my works patterns (Alt FWF stops working). Need to disable.
