If i open a url file with firefox all i get is the notepad like view of the contents of the url file. if i open the same url with safari it opens the web site as it should. I have set firefox as the default browser but still must open url in safari to go to the web site. Even if I manually change the url file to open with firefox it still open the notepad like viewer.

This is what opens in the Firefox window.
The application bar shows that it is Firefox is open but this is what it displays.

That is a Windows internet shortcut file and Mac doesn't know what to do with it.

Did you copy the IE Favorites folder from a Windows installation?
