I use Irfanview as my default image viewer. When clicking on a photo attachment, T-bird fails to open. The T-bird error console displays the following errors:

Timestamp: 5/29/2014 9:53:08 AM Error: [Exception... "Cannot call openModalWindow on a hidden window" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js :: openModalWindow :: line 382" data: no] Source File: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js Line: 382

and

Timestamp: 5/29/2014 9:53:08 AM Error: TypeError: this._taskbar is null Source File: resource://gre/modules/DownloadTaskbarProgress.jsm Line: 189

Operating system is Windows Vista. This problem did not occur when using Windows XP before "updating" to Vista.

Thank you, Donald F. Collins

What happens when you save the attachment to disk and try to open it with Irfanview?

Locate your type of attachment in the left column 'Content Type'.

What 'Action' is assigned to it in the right column?
