Pennko Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I came back to modding Skyrim yesterday. Or, tried to at least. I started downloading a mod and a pop-up window came up that asked me with what do I want to open the file with. Since I'm half-cocked (yes, that's a word), instead of choosing Nexus Mod Manager, I chose Mozilla Firefox. After that, tabs started opening up mad. Like 2-3 of them each second, all with the file name. I can prevent this by closing my browser entirely, but I can't download and install mods through nmm like this. I tried toying with options in the browser, but since I'm no tech wiz, I can't do it. Helpsies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surilindur Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I have never used the NMM link to download anything, but is there anything "nxm" or "nxmif" or something similar created in Preferences -> Applications (url: about:preferences#applications ) with some sort of default option? The "download with NMM" link has target set to "nxmif", so if you have an "nxm" or "nxmif" item in that list, you could try changing the open target to "always ask" and trying again, to see if it offers you the option to select an application? That is just an idea, I have not used the "big green button" myself to download anything, so hopefully someone with more actual knowledge instead of speculative ideas will chime in to help you. :blush: Edited January 4, 2017 by Contrathetix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
