I can't get Firefox to appear in the "open with" drop-down right-click box in Windows Explorer on my Win XP Pro PC so that I can open .html files using Firefox. Only my IE and Opera browsers appear in the "open with" drop-down box. How can I add Firefox into this drop-down box? Thanx!

Your answer didn't work, but I got it in by using the "browse" option and and going to Program Files/Firefox and clicking on the Firefox.exe file. That put it right into the drop-down box and my .html files all are opening when I choose Firefox now! Learn something every day, (lol)!  :-D Lida

Try to hold down the Shift key when opening the right-click context menu and "Open with" dialog.

Try to set Firefox as the default browser.
