@hazen:
your suggestion to made .MHT files readable by Firefox did sound quite weird to me as MHT is a Microsoft proprietary format. In fact I could not catch how changing Registry in a so simple way would change Firefox so much. But I gave it a try and nothing happened as I had presumed: Firefox remains unable to open MHT files without a right extension/plug-in installed.

To make possible reading and even writing of MHT files, there are at least two extensions: the oldest one, that did not to work at the times of FF2, I mean MAF (Mozilla Archive Format) and maybe the most popular, UnMHT that can read and write MHT files and even convert HTML files and associated image folders in a snap. Great integration in Firefox Portable 5!

Tried it. Downloaded it from different site. Tried again. Didn’t work anytime it was used. Explorer remained default web program. Didn’t like it.

Windows 7 32/64 support would be nice, unfortunately leaving feedback on the developers site returns 404.

The ‘Default Browser’ site is down, or the page no longer exists.
Is it available for d/load anywhere else?
