Both Firebox and IE open home page instead of saved http html files on HDD
This didn't happen before, only in the last 3 days. Didn't install anything on PC other than Itunes and possibly - automatic updates on Win 7.
The ONLY way to open saved html file is by right-click: Open With -> Choose Default Program -> Firefox.
It doesn't open the file on double click, or on right click: Open With -> Firefox, or right click: Open With -> Choose Default Program -> IE, in all 3 cases it goes to homepage.
There was adware or malware Rollup File Opener that I uninstalled but still see some remains in Troubleshooter.

hello almot09, apparently you still have remnants of this adware in firefox > addons > extensions.
please run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner which are specialised in removing browser hijackers.
another user with a similar issue has reported, this could resolve the problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986102

Yay! Malwarebytes found some garbage but the problem still persisted. Then - AdvCleaner, cleaned the tab "Services" and then some entries in "Registries", not understanding what I'm doing, just deleting names that I knew were malware.
