When I click on a photo to open it for editing, it used to open in preview. Now the photo opens in a new tab in Firefox every time. Is there a setting to stop this? I'm using a Mac Book Pro.

Hi Pk,

Just the normal action of opening a photo... you click on it and it opens. Now it opens in a firefox browser window. This has never happened before.

Hello Pk,

For now I chose the default application to open photos as preview. It was already chosen but perhaps it needed a refresh. Seems to be working for now. Thanks for helping.

Cheers, J
