I saved a file as HTML only. When I am going to open this file, I found the file showed a notepad icon. When I opened the file, it was totally code description with some words inside. It looked like program work showed up. I checked it again and saved it again with HTML only again. It was the same situation. I would like to have help. This computer I just brought and downloaded Firefox only several days ago. I never had this kind of problem on other computer

Thank you for the help

Can you post a short except of the file, so we can see what is looks like?

You can paste the text between <code> and </code> tags.

If you save the page as an HTML file then you should get the page source with HTML tags like you see if you right-click on a web page and select View Page Source in the right-click context menu.
