Hello,
for a few years I have been opening my .vtx files with firefox with links in a web page in this way:
<a href="file:///D:/Folder/example.vtx"> link </a>
I set firefox to automatically open "Pictures Thumbnails Viewer". It worked perfectly but since a few days when I click on my links, firefox does not open anything. I click and nothing happens. I do not know if it is firefox (71) or Windows10 the problem. Do you have this problem too?

Hello,

Never tried to open VTX files by FireFox.

You can try to check associations:

Thank you but .vtx is already associated with "Pictures Thumbnails Viewer".
I tried to open a .vtx file in the root of the folder with the .html file like this:
<a href="example.vtx"> link </a>
and there it's ok. The file opens normally in "Pictures Thumbnails Viewer".
I do not understand :(

I'm progressing, it's a problem with the spaces in the address. Before it worked:
<a href="file:///D:/Folder one/example.vtx"> link </a>
But now no :shock:
It is a problem with firefox therefore.
I tried like that but it doesn't work either:
<a href="file:///D:/Folder%20one/example.vtx"> link </a>

it's strange.

I tried with an old portable version of firefox (v69) and it's ok, Pictures Thumbnails Viewer opens normally.
The problem therefore comes from the latest version of firefox (v71).
