Remember to download programs supporting FRI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mozilla Firefox with FRI files
If, despite the installed application, the FRI file does not start in the Mozilla Firefox application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FRI file with the Mozilla Firefox application.
Step 3. Update Mozilla Firefox to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mozilla Firefox with Firefox Bookmark Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Mozilla page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FRI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FRI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FRI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FRI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FRI file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FRI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mozilla Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FRI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
