In the previous version of Firefox, I set it as my default Shockwave Flash viewer (these were offline objects) by selection the application in my program files.

When I upgraded to FF 4 RC, I was no longer able to view these files, nor was I able to find the application to default to (it was no longer in program files).

I tried setting the default viewer to the FF application located in Local Roaming but it won't appear in either the 'recommended' or 'other' when selected.

I can however still view these SWFs by clicking and dragging them onto the FF window. This isn't a major issue but I'd like to know if and how this can be fixed.

Thanks

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Right-click a Shockwave Flash file (.SWF) and select Open with then Choose default program...
  3. Click the Browse button in the lower right corner of the window and choose the Firefox executable. If you've installed Firefox in the default location, its path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

When I searched in that location, there was no firefox.exe to be found. The executable file that runs firefox is located in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox and when I tried using that, it would not load.

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall FF4 RC and see if I can correct the location of firefox.exe to run as it should.

UPDATE: Uninstalling FF4 RC and reinstalling it solved the problem. For some reason, FF was running solely out of the AppData folder and was unable to be identified as an actual program.
