When I try to open any html file on my HDD, Mozilla Firebird opens a
tab for it, but only displayes about:blank and the status bar says
'done'. It used to work fine, and I have no idea what I might have
changed. If I browse my HDD with Firebird, say by starting out typing
C:\ in the addy bar, I can drill down to html files and open them fine.

Anybody got any ideas, so I don't have to set up SSL to get to the
Mozilla newsgroups? ;)

Do you have this key in your registry.

[snip registry keys]

Yeah, all that was there, but those keys specify how mozilla.exe
should handle things, whereas my problem is with how
MozillaFirebird.exe iss handling things. Mozilla Firebird does not
seem to make use of the registry the same way Mozilla does.

A bit more info, which I didn't realize before. If no Firebird window
is open when I click an html file on my HDD, Firebird opens it fine.
The problem only occurs when there is an instance of Firebird running,
and a new tab is created. I suspect something is corrupted in the
'Tabbrowser Extensions' extension....

Ok, I just reinstalled Tabbrowser Extensions, which fixed the problem.
