I've used OverDrive to play e-media downloads from my local public libraries for two years on a PC running WinXP & Firfox 10 with no problems. Recently, I moved to a new PC running Win 7 & Firefix 11. No matter what I've tried, I cannot get Firefox to complete an ODM download. Yet, IE9 has no problems and completes the download as expected.

The message that display for Firefix 11 is: "C:\Users\Liam\AppData\Local\Temp\DandelionFire-3134.odm could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."

Hi,

You can try to correct the Action in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Applications. If the problem persists please also try deleting the mimetypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder.
