This is what I need to do ... but, after looking at all the options (within tools->Options), I still can not find a way to do this; firefox insists on executing the script. This is for a local file. btw, the deleted part of your explantion contained an unfortunate firefox-snafu: when I try to open a file in "my document", firefox splits up the path, interprets the request as a series of files to open, and start to open a number of totally unrelated webpages. > But I didn't need to do that. :-( for me! Thanks for your help, anyway; I'll stick to opening them with an editor for now.
