Guest Ben Stevenson Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I tried to download a program that would enable me to save videos, but Windows says: "Windows cannot open this file. File : video_downloadhelper-3.2-fx.xpi " and then it goes on to say that I have to go to the web or select the program from a list. These are difficult things to do. What could be the solution? TIA

Guest dario Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Windows cannot open this file Sorry for the late reply. Your reply did not come to my newsgroup. It seems to be broken. Can I do a repair? Had to go to the microsoft website to look up your reply. I did not install a firefox add on. God only knows how it got there. Is it the cause of the problem? Where do I find it and shall I delete it?

Guest 3c273 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: Windows cannot open this file The video downloader you are trying to install is actually an extension that will only work if you have Firefox installed. If you want to use the video downloader, install Firefox and then install the video downloader extension. If you don't want Firefox, then you can't use the extension.
