Google translation, sorry!

Since version 58, Finder has gone crazy: so far I've clicked on any file, opened the related program, or I've given it permanently. (Also under Sierra Sierra !!!)

For example: .jpg> change all = Photoshop or .doc> change all = Text edit, etc.

Now, for example, jpg files would first be opened by Firefox. Each time you want to change Open with + Change all on any File, wait for the message to open: Photoshop, etc., for the first time.

I've been sitting for Mac for 30 years, but I have not seen this yet! Outrageous!!!

But now, in version 59, even QuicKeys has gone out (Startly.com). You can not open a special Folder assigned to a key combination.

Hi, I have no idea what Finder is, your description of the issue is all over the place. So do not understand the issue .

Firefox --> Applications is where you change what the defaults are for Firefox and programs associated to a file.

Or right click and open with. Also can add what ever many programs to want to a right click open with.

As for Outrageous,.......supply info and can help. Supply in point form would be better still.

There are other add-ons to try : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/
