If you drag and drop the .htm file on page currently displayed in a Firefox tab, does it display correctly?

If so, this implies that there is a problem passing the file name to Firefox, either a problem with the registry settings created whenever you make Firefox your default browser, or an issue with how Firefox is starting up.

Assuming you still have Google Chrome installed, could you do a double-switch of your default browser:

  1. Have Google Chrome make itself the default browser (see Make Chrome your default browser - Chrome Help)

  2. Have Firefox make itself the default browser again (see Make Firefox your default browser)

Any improvement?
