Hi

Tried to download FC again to reinstall. However when I try to download the msi file using Firefox I am apparently downloading FlowcodeV9_Installer.msi.fcfx which of course plays havoc as FC then tries to open it instead of Windows running it.

Same if I try to download any other FC version, the .fcfx is added during download.

This only happens with Firefox. Any ideas?

Hi

It's only started doing it. I've been going through the web looking for ideas and apparently similar issues have been going on for quite a while with no "one size fits all" fix.

So far no joy...

Tried changing a few settings but no luck, I still get

It did update itself a few days ago so.....

Tempted to just uninstall / reinstall but might look a bit longer for a fix.

Thanks for the link though.

Hi

I tried many of the fixes offered on the web to no avail, FF for whatever reason insisted the .msi should be opened by FC. This was a recent development possibly after a FF update.

Rather than completely uninstall / reinstall I went to Help> More Troubleshooting Information and did a Refresh. This fixed the issue with the minimum of pain (kept bookmarks and such like). I did have to download extensions/plug-ins etc again but not too troublesome and easier than a complete reinstall.
