just installed firefox 3.6 this day. This is a Windows Vista machine with a document app that produces .XPS documents. I now cannot open .XPS documents... A firefox panel asks what to do with the XPS document. How can this be suppressed?

Try changing the file association for XPS files to Internet Explorer. For details on changing file associations see http://www.winvistaclub.com/t19.html
