This could indicate that there is a problem with updating handlers.json in the Firefox profile folder.

Hello,

I am happy that you made me aware of the issue, but please let me know how to solve this problem

Let me know if Re-installing would solve the problem.

Does handlers.json get updated if you make changes to the application settings or close Firefox ?

If that isn't the case then try to rename the file and let Firefox create a new file.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
