How to open SQLITE-JOURNAL file?
An often recurring problem with Mozilla Firefox is that SQLITE-JOURNAL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SQLITE-JOURNAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SQLITE-JOURNAL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SQLite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SQLite is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SQLite in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SQLITE-JOURNAL with SQLite.

Programs to open SQLITE-JOURNAL file
Remember to download programs supporting SQLITE-JOURNAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SQLite with SQLITE-JOURNAL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SQLITE-JOURNAL file to open in the SQLite application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SQLITE-JOURNAL file with the SQLite application.
Step 3. Update SQLite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SQLite program with the Mozilla Firefox file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SQLite Development Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SQLITE-JOURNAL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The SQLITE-JOURNAL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SQLITE-JOURNAL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SQLITE-JOURNAL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SQLITE-JOURNAL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SQLITE-JOURNAL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SQLITE-JOURNAL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SQLite Development Team
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SQLITE-JOURNAL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SQLITE-JOURNAL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SQLITE-JOURNAL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
