I frequently download webpages for offline reference. If I double click one of these I immediately get a Vista error window giving the entire path to that file and informing me windows cannot find the file! Before I can OK that window, Firefox (my default browser) will open and display the page. If I right click>open with>Firefox, the same thing happens; but if I right click>open with and select IE, IE opens and displays the page with no message.

What sort of "logic" has windows list the entire path to a file then say it cannot find it? And how do I eliminate that ridiculous message?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== switched to Firefox and set it as default browser

Thanks. In my own bumbling way I found the solution this morning (which was one of those in the link); one, or more, of my plugins was misbehaving.

I installed a desktop FLV viewer which surreptitiously added a toolbar to Firefox; once I noticed this, both the toolbar and the viewer were removed. Later I found I could no longer open a second Firefox window; researching this divulged plugins as likely culprits. I uninstalled two that I never used, two more that didn't work as I thought they would, and another that worked but was more an annoyance than a feature. Now I could open multiple Firefox windows ...and open the offline htm files with no idiotic error windows.

FWIW, three plugins that I remember removing were FoxyProxy, GreaseMonkey, and FastFox (FasterFox?).
