    Firefox Image Question

    Hi,

    This is one thing that has been bugging me for a long time. You know how if someone sends you a picture attached to an email (I use Yahoo mail, btw), it has that "download file" thing?
    Well when I click on that, Firefox asks me if I want to open or save it. There's no option to view the picture in Firefox.

    Well, I was trying to add the Windows Picture and FAX viewer as the default application to open pictures. Because it's not CPU intensive at all and it works. Unlike Adobe whatever that Firefox tries to open them with.

    The problem is that it isn't an actual EXE.
    I made a shortcut as demonstrated here.
    That will open fine when I double click on it, but if I drag a picture to it it gives me an error... and when I tried to open a picture from Firefox using it, it just didn't open.

    Does anyone know a way to get the Photo and FAX Viewer to work with Firefox?

      Plus Firefox can be a bit of a PITA when it comes to file associations. I think I wasted
      about 3 hours trying to get it to use Irfanview when I clicked on a .bmp link. Just wouldn't do it. So I have to right click and use Launchy to open with Irfanview.
