I've added Seamonkey as an "open with" choice via the Nautilus

Display opens Seamonkey; I don't know what Run does, but nothing seems
to happen when I take that choice.  Is there a way I can set "display"
as the default for this association?  Thanks!

Remove the executable permissions from the file: right-click the .html
file, select 'Properties|Permissions|Execute - Allow executing file...
click&  click again until the check box is cleared|Close.

The problem is that most html files are '-rwx' (100700) vs '-rw'
(100600), so Nautilus appropriately asks you what you wish to do. If you
use Edit|Preferences|List Columns - and check 'Permissions&  Octal
Permissions' you'll see what I'm referring to.


Thank you, NoOp - Now I see it, and I've made the change. (I wonder why Firefox didn't behave the same way, but I'll leave that question for later...). Thanks again, and regards, RL
