So I think what you're saying, is you click on .htm
file and MSEdge opens instead of Firefox or Seamonkey
or whatever you thought that you chose.

There are several dialogs for fiddling with that
stuff, but they're hardly satisfactory.

The main annoyance is the one for MSEdge. Microsoft
keeps hogging things and resetting the setting.
We'll just do the simple one then. Not worth it,
but try anyway.

There will be situations where maybe some Microsoft
tool needs a browser, and even if you set Firefox to be
your browser, MSEdge will open the so-called "Help" page.

Kari has another tutorial page he wrote, which is about
a hundred web pages long, and I haven't the heart to
post that, because you'll only moan and no purpose will
be served :-) It shows a zillion stupid things you can
try, and you just know they're not going to work :-)

I don't even try to program that stuff any more. I
just use "Open with" sorts of things and that's it for me.
No screwing with MIME types any more. Not interested.
