I can't reproduce that at all... What happens if you just go to File, Open? The same, I'm guessing...

yeah, same results when i go to File, Open. it's probably a matter of the way content handlers are configured on my system. my hunch is if you add ".html" to the page name when saving the snapshot everything should work fine...

(In [503]) Fixes #192, double-clicking webpage snapshots sometimes brings up a save dialog
On Simon's suggestion, appending .html to all text/html files--I can't reproduce the problem, and I'm not sure what's causing the ExternalHelperAppService to get confused, but this should at least avoid the issue...

yup, that seems to have fixed it. thanks!
Simon, can you give me an example of this? PHP pages work fine for me.
