Try this:

1. Navigate to: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

2. Open your default folder

3. Delete or move to other folder the file: mimeTypes.rdf

4. Start Firefox backup again

5. Open the link again it will ask you to associate to a program

where in the search bar or in my computer search ? and just copy & paste: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ ?

In computer search. You can also press windows key + R and paste there.

Ok thanks it works, now 1 final question tho wy do u guys put that file in there any way if it messes up browser ?

It's a file which will remember all programs associated with firefox, so if you remove it you will clean all associations, being able to do the association again.
