I can't open html files with Firefox. They open with Windows Media Player instead. When I try choose Firefox to open the html file, Firefox is not listed in the RECOMMENDED PROGRAMS or OTHER PROGRAMS list (see image), and when I BROWSE for it, and select the Firefox.exe, nothing happens.

In SET YOUR DEFAULT PROGRAMS, Firefox has a Windows Media Player icon and says FIREFOX MICROSOFT WINDOWS (see image).

In ASSOCIATE A FILE TYPE OR PROTOCOL WITH A PROGRAM (see image), when I select CHANGE PROGRAM I am unable to associate Firefox with html files.

I have tried deleting the Firefox entry from REGISTRY EDITOR:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications

I have also tried uninstalling Firefox, and then deleting the folder:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

And then restarting my PC and installing the latest Firefox as administrator.

Please describe how you are trying to open those files.

Try using File > Open File ... from the Menu Bar in Firefox.

Or use { Ctrl + O }.

In Firefox I can open html files by dragging them in or using the File > Open File option.

I want to associate Firefox with html files so I can double click on them to open them in Firefox, and also try and fix the other issues mentioned above.

more options

Using Windows File Explorer, locate an HTML file. Right-click and select Properties. On the General tab, press Change.

I've tried that, see the first paragraph of my question, and the first screenshot.

I didn't include a screenshot of the General tab of the html files Properties . I just took a screenshot of the window that appears when you press Change on the General tab. See first screenshot.
