Just upgraded to FF 10. I cannot open a local html file by dragging it to to FF, or by clicking the file name. Clicking the file name brings up an error message: There was a problem sending the command to the program. Dragging just shows a circle with a slash.

I can open a local file by typing "file///<file location>" in the location bar.

Also, clicking a link in an email to any site does not open the site.

Hi,

Please see this. You can start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if an add-on is causing the problem. You can also try to Open with by right-clicking on the HTML file and choose Firefox and enable Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.

Thanks, but none of that helped. I'm getting an entirely different error message than the one in your linked page (it's a different problem), starting in Safe Mode made no difference at all, and doing a right-click/Open with did not work. So I'm still puzzled and frustrated.

I just switched back to FF 9.0.1, and opening local html files by double-clicking works as it always did before 10.0.
