Opening MHT file from Windows Explorer

by v2bailey . Updated 17 years ago

recently, i was prompted by a Windows Explorer popup window (not spam) to change a setting re: how i wanted to open an MHT file from a desktop folder.

stupidly, i didn’t pay attention to what i was doing (i work fast) and don’t remember the options to change back.

now, EVERY time since, when i click on an MHT link, multiple blank tabs open simultaneously in Firefox.

prior to this, i use to be able to open MHT files no problem.

the only way to stop the tabs from keeping opening is to press escape – and in the 3 seconds it takes to do this i can have a dozen or more open, blank tabs.

…where can i find the file settings that determine how MHT files will open – I’ve looked all thu my control panel (umpteen times) and don’t see any file associations that address this??

Also, am i looking at two separate issues by asking why the tabs are empty/blank? …or will this clear up when i get a single open tab from an MHT link from Windows Explorer?

thx in advance for your help – it’s making me crazy with frustration!!
