I have bought a new computer and still have FF 1.09. When I try to install new filters I get the answer that firefox does not know how to install because the file is not associated to a program.
I have made the association to the .ffxml in windows, but it does not help.
I cannot find any download possibility for the first version, just the FF3
Just now I have ff3 as trial, but i have not the money to buy it yet, therefor I am cntinuing to use the original version.
can you help?

My forum name is gunsan
I have the registerd version of FF 1.09 but I know there have been updates to this many times.
All this stuff has of course disappeared when I changed computer
Can I download the latest version of the FF1 anywhere?

Thanks for help

If you put a ffxml on your desktop and double click it, does FF1 open it?

I don't usually use Firefox, even though I have it installed. So I gave it a try. My Firefox didn't know what to do either. It said "Filter Forge not installed or cookies missing in your browser." And then it offered to install activate this. When I accepted, it still required that I make an association. And it was pointing to the wrong ff executable. So I had to navigate to the correct ff file.

Is any of this happening with you? IOW, is it offering you a chance to do this, but after you do it, it still doesn't work.

Also, have you tried a different browser? Have you checked file associations in Firefoxes application menu?

Brfore I associated .ffxml to FF in Firefox FF3 installed OK but not FF1
Now either of them can install new filters when I click on install in filterforge both Firefox and Explorer says that they cannot install because Filterforge already is running, so now i cannot install at all, not in FF3 like before
Don'tknow what to do.

Installing this did not solve the problem. I cannot download filters neither in FF1 nor FF3 now
Before I created the file association in Firefox, I could download filters in FF3 but not in FF1.
Opening Explorer gives the same result.
Semms that I have to stop using FilterForge smile:-(

Have you tried to set it to "Always ask"? I think if you use both versions that would be best, as you can only associate the files with one version and that way it lets you choose.

I discovered that I can install new filters from inside Photoshop without problems inFF3.I have just a week left on the trial, so I hope I can solve the FF 1 problem before that.
I tried before in the program I use the most and always have used for FF: PaintShopPro.
Well, I will try to install FF1 to Photoshop too, but I don't know yet how it will work
I guess I will rtirn later if I don't can find any solution.
Thanks for trying to help!
