Recently I've deleted and created a new profile for my Mozilla Firefox on my Mac, however I cant seem to find the mimeType.rdf file as my swf files are still not opening. One of the solutions was to delete the mimetype.rdf file but I cant seem to find it

Firefox 55 uses a handlers.json file rather than mimeTypes.rdf .

Is his about opening locally saved SWF files?

It is no longer possible to open Flash (.swf) files via the fiel:// protocol . By default you can only open http: and https: links.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • plugins.http_https_only = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
