I first tried to search the forum, but I haven't seen something similar.

Hi. I have a new windows 10 64 bit installed and I started to do some page for a friend of mine. Trying to see the home page done, I was looking for Firefox, but oE shows me only Internet Explorer as possible browser. The FF installed is a 64 bits, but also IE is a 64 bits...I don't want to use IE. How can I do? Do I have to install also a 32 bits FF? At same time  oE downloaded a .net version 32 bits and installed it...

How many chances do I have to use oE with Windows 10x64?

Probably you did not assing the FF as default browser?

Indeed, try to avoid the IE, that asks for some 'discrepancy'.
Also the Edge 'misinterprets' some details of oE. The Chrome, too.
Recommend to use the FireFox, now in version 67/64.

Vivaldi works fine, too. Even the old safari is fine.

After the export, it will pop up the WindowsExplorer (aka FileManager).
There it should display the icon of  the FireFox (if FireFox is the default).
If not, it will propably display the IE, which you (and I) don't like.

If FireFox does not show up, then it is a Win-10 System Setting.
Means FireFox ist not the default browser, is not known to the system.
I think you know that, so forgive me this 'esplanation'.

It's not known to me that Win-10 prevents the FireFox from running.

Probably you might try https://vivaldi.com" rel="nofollow - Vivaldi .

I have an uncertain feeling, that this english forum is not monitored anymore.
So probably you (and  i) could ask in the french forum?
Preferrable in german language, or in plain italian, pe: Stronzo

I'm really afraid of that this excellent product (oE) will disappear. It really would be a shame.
So I already found Contano (WordPress based). Right now checking on that.
And wysiwygwebuilder, that just doesn't fit the oE completely.
Money doesn't matter for me. It's a hobby.

I'm aware of that this oE is a 'freelancer' open source project on a voluntary base.

" Project...Export to Folder...Send. It puts all files to c: After the export, it will pop up the WindowsExplorer (aka FileManager).There it should display the icon of  the FireFox"

and in effect I see it. The problem is when I am making the page and I need the quick preview to check if everything is visible... there oE shows me only IE as option browser... why it doesn't shows also FF? I'm afraid that is 'cause IE is installed by default in two different versions, (32 and 64 bits) and FF only 1 version 64 bits... Probably oE doesn't read programs at 64 bits... I don't know anymore what to think.

I go check better some parameter ... I'll let you know

You are right, ist does NOT show the FireFox as selection drop down, but it invokes it, if FF is the default browser.

So it might work if you just click on the Preview-Arrow - and if FF is the default browser.

Alternatively you could use the already mentioned Vivaldi-browser, which either does not show in the drop down, but works if selected as default.

The Opera shows anyway always, regardless whether default or not.

As do google Chrome and Safari.

But never FireFox.

I did not even notice. My system Win-7/64/prof. FF-67/64. oE-1.57-R9.
Sounds strange, but if it works, hell, it's ok.
But, it makes me feel nerveous.

Yeah! I found the same conclusion late at night, after trying (with unsuccess) to use a portable version of FF at 32bits... I would understand why oE can't keep anymore FF as other choice, but it sees IE...

"But, it makes me feel nerveous. " eh eh 

So now we know how does works oE with windows 10 64 bits... I think is the important, 'cause I was near to use my laptop with again win7 at 64 bits (there oE works fine), but it's a laptop and not so confortable as a desktop...

OE obviously has such scanning list, fixed programmed by names.

If it works, it's fine. Who cares. Keep on rolling.

Anyway, oE is the finest WebDesing tool, I've found.

"OE obviously has such scanning list, fixed programmed by names."

So why doesn't keep Firefox in that list? I really was going crazy to find how to launch FF directly and when I tried with the up black arrow it started with my surprise...

Surely oE is the best wysiwyg around. No other can do the same... it would be a shame ending it...

As you like flowers try to check for Panace di Mantegazza and share to all peoples you know, the danger of it! There are lot of pictures online of this dangerous and common plant. Many people think it is a Sambucus and after touched they need hospital...

It's the way it is.
I Think, the team is busy with some important job, and they wait until a reasonable amount of 'to fix' issues accumulated. And then fix these issues, error bug, ...

btw: Alert, do not delete a folder under control of oE, your product would be gone forever. You really need a backup to recover.

Well, that's true ... I will do my best to keep it alive. As paid retiree I don't need it for commercial reason.

I know that giant plant. It is a dangerous speci. One does not even have to smoke it.
In Germany it's named 'Herkules'.
