  • .cap files are generated by Capella from capella.de a scorewriter program.

Whenever I open a *.cap or *.capx file Firefox opens it always with a kind of lister-program i.s.o. asking what to do.

Internet Explorer and Chrome handle these files in a correct way. There I can define to open these files with a Capella program. Firefox is the negative exception.
