I'm trying to find a way to open XPS files in a Firefox tab. I'm able to open them in Internet Explorer, but I would like them to open directly in Firefox without having to switch application.

I've tried to configure an IE Tab extension, but it doesn't work.

I'd like detailed instructions to do so, if possible.

Thanks in advance

There is also a standalone XPS viewer available from Microsoft, if you are unaware of it. It is the default XPS viewer on Windows 7. – paradroid Dec 30 '10 at 13:52

  1. Download the IE tab addin for Firefox
  2. Install it
  3. Then the clever bit open options
  4. Set up a URL thus: /^file:\/\/\/.*.(xps)$/

Unfortunately, there is not just one IE tabs, but many . And none of them works. – Johan Buret Dec 31 '10 at 10:08
