At some point, I went to download a .aspx file and mistakenly set WordPad as the application to use to open this file type. It was a bad choice. Neither WordPad nor the .aspx file type show in the list on the Options/Applications widow to change it.

I'd really like to not have to use IE everytime I need to download and view a .aspx file.

Suggestions?

Open your file browser. Locate one of the files and right click it. Select Properties. Look for Opens With and change it how you want.

You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
