Firefox 3.6 and local PHP files

[andyjoe81]

Anyone else having the same issues loading php files in the new firefox? Any fixes?

Specify what issues you are having? I’m not having any issues either on my Mac or Windows-based machine.

When I try to drag a PHP file into firefox to see how my page is looking, it asks what program I would like to open it in. If I chose Firefox, then Firefox goes insane and continuously makes new windows until it crashes. Before I updated to 3.6, it would simply load my page, like it does for Chris in all his screencasts.

See the following articles I found.

This is a list of several developers complaining of this…

There is a bug case open for this, but the problem in the report is that this happens when the file path includes spaces, and in actuality, it happens either way.
