Why does double-click not work for files of Firefox type under Windows 7 (Firefox 15.0.1)?
If in the Windows Explorer of Windows 7 I double-click the name of a file that is mentioned as being a Firefox file by its file type symbol, it should be launched. But this doesn't happen. If I select "Open with" > Firefox" in the file's context menu, nothing happens. But if I select another browser, the file will be launched.

Make sure that Firefox is still the default browser.
Try to undo and redo Firefox as the default browser.
Make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

Thanks a lot for your quick help! In fact, Windows Explorer had misled me. I had not thought it necessary to use the context menu because Windows Explorer already displayed all HTML files with the Firefox symbol as if it were the standard browser - but it didn't execute them. Have a nice day! Hans
