Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

I downloaded some files from Wikipedia to look at when I'm offline, but I'm getting an error message when I double-click on the files from within Windows Explorer. An error box appears to say:

"Windows cannot find 'Drive/Directorey/filename.htm'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

But behind that box the file opens normally, with all pictures and other elements. The problem is that the error box does not go away by itself - I have to click 'OK' for that to happen.

I notice that this error box only appears when Firefox is not yet running. When it is already open, the file opens normally. I have a lot of files like this, so it's a bit of a nuisance to keep having this error box appear every time.

Any help appreciated to sort out this inconvenience! Thank you

Ok, thanks for the link. It's definitely the same bug.

I updated my extensions and uninstalled the 'Read It Later' extension. I don't know if that helped or not, but the problem seems to have cleared up, IF I only double-click on a local .htm file.

If by accident I triple-click a file before Firefox has opened, I get the same error message as before, with an extra box from Firefox saying that it is already running as a process (see screenshot).

I don't know why that happens, but if I'm careful in my clicking, then the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks for the advice once again.
