On a mac, coded a simple HTML page, but can't bring it up in firefox, it simply brings up the code instead of translating it to a web page.

I have made a very simple HTML page in text editor on my mac. I'm trying to view what the page would look like in firefox, but it just brings up the code, rather than the webpage, even though the extension in the address bar says .html.

Are you opening that file locally or have you uploaded the file to a server on the internet?

Can you post a link if you have uploaded the file?
