I recently upgraded to latest of Firefox and Roboform. Now I'm unable to open a local stored HTML file on my D drive. Apparently web extensions is the problem.

Support,

I recently upgraded my Firefox and Roboform to latest version. Since then I noticed that I am unable to open Roboform bookmarks which refers to a local HTML file. The reference in Roboform is like this "file:///C:/<folder name>/index.html". I contacted Roboform support and they say that Firefox Web Extensions is the problem, apparently you can't directly open a HTML file using web extensions. Do you have a solution? or all of my bookmarks that are pointing to HTML files will become obsolete. Of course, the same bookmark works fine if I save it as a regular Firefox bookmark (not using web extensions).

Thanks for helping.

At this junctions if they don't update their extensions to work with FF it can't run properly on FF. So Roboform support will have to find a solution for you til the extension is update for FF. And you will probably have to use the bookmark option as you did as a work round.
