When I click on a photo to open it for editing, it used to open in preview. Now the photo opens in a new tab in Firefox every time. Is there a setting to stop this? I've tried the open with - find preview - change all, several times. It works but not for permanent operation. I want to know how can change it permanently!


Thanks

That is a Windows file association not a FF change. You need to look at your Windows file association.

Where do you click this image? Is that in Firefox or in an external application?
