I am having trouble getting Chrome to open html files from MacOS Finder. This includes double-clicking or right clicking and selecting open. These actions result in opening or making Chrome the active application, but not opening the html file. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It didn't start after an update or any detectible change in how I work. It seems totally random.
Here's what I've tried:
- opening multiple html files created in different applications (sublime, dreamweaver, atom, etc.)
- deleting Chrome preferences
- resetting all Chrome settings
- running all possible updates
- restarting Chrome and computer
Here's what does work:
- opening files from within Chrome via File>Open File
- opening a new tab or window in Chrome and dragging an html file into it
- opening html files in Firefox and Safari by all available methods without encountering the issue I'm experiencing with Chrome.
Thank you!
