Beginning this morning, Friday, May 27, Firefox will not open message links in Delphi Forums. Instead it wants me to download. IE is able to connect to the links.

I don't know what else to tell you. Firefox connects to Delphi successfully, but, when clicking on the "2 new" message link, I get a box asking me to choose the software to open the link. But the link is not a document, it is a link.

What is the file extension that you see in those links?


"File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2"

I do not recall, I don't know whether the problem was with Firefox or Delphi, but it has been resolved. I am assuming it was Delphi's problem.

Thank you for your reply.
