Can't associate Firefox with html files Windows 7
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.
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.

You pressed 'Open' after making the choice?
