cant view html pages in firefox
 

I have fedora 12 and I'm playing a game using wine. To view a page from inside the games own browser(it has an internet browser style menu) there is a button that says "open in external browser" I've used it hundreds of times to save that particular page to a folder when I was in windows but now that I'm using fedora it doesnt do anything. Is this something I have to configure in firefox or could it be something else. Thanks for any help.

I found where the html files are being saved to but does anyone know how I can get firefox to automatically view the html document without saving it first? Any help?

My guess would be that you'd have to install FF under WINE as well;
but I'm not expert on WINE, and don't know whether it can make windows
programs interact with Linux ones (I doubt, though).

Hmm, your Windows app is probably looking for the firefox binary ... probably in c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe

Maybe you can create a symbolic link ??

Hmm, now that I think about it ... the html extension is associated with the default browser within the Windows operating system ... so the link suggestion probably will not work.

I'm thinking this has to be a firefox issue because I opened an email using fedora a couple weeks ago and tried to open an html attachment and the same thing happened. I thought it didnt do anything but it actually saved it to my downloads directory where I could open and read it just fine. I've scoured the firefox options and looked at several firefox howto's to see if this has come up before but I cant find anything. The only issue seems to be firefox not asking me what to do with the file when I try to open it. Instead it just saves it automatically. Any ideas?

Edit>preferences>applications in firefox. What program were you viewing that email in?
