I upgraded my laptop PC from FireFox 6.02 to FireFox 7.0 to FireFox 8.0. I install FireFox on my D: partition with other programs, trying to reserve my C: partition for the OS - 

 D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

I can open FireFox and Drag-Drop or I can open (menu->File/Open_File...) and display the .xml documents that are referencing their .xsl stylesheets. 

 e.g.:  <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='.\Templates\SurveyResultsStatistics.xsl'?>

BUT, I cannot set FF8 as the default or even a valid application to open the .xml document directly. I browse and select FireFox.exe but it it is not recognized!!!

FireFox 5.0 works as expected on my desktop PC!

What is still wrong?

Try to use forward slashes: href='./Templates/SurveyResultsStatistics.xsl'
