What is XHT file?
The XHT file has been categorized as Web Files. Additionally, the Web Files category contains 303 of other files. XHTML Format is supported by 4 operating systems. The file will work on Android, iOS, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Mozilla Firefox to handle this file. This is a program created by Mozilla.

The Opera, Google Chrome, Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Internet Explorer programs will also handle the file when the Mozilla Firefox program does not fulfill its role.
How to open XHT file?
The most common problem when using XHTML Format is that a specific XHT is not associated with the program. This causes the file XHT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XHT 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 Mozilla Firefox
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mozilla Firefox is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mozilla Firefox in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XHT files.
Programs to open XHT file
Remember to download programs supporting XHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mozilla Firefox with XHT files
If, despite the installed application, the XHT 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XHT file with the Mozilla Firefox program.
Step 3. Update Mozilla Firefox to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mozilla Firefox program with the XHTML Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mozilla website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XHT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XHT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XHT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XHT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XHT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XHT file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XHT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XHT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XHT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XHT file again. However, some background programs may block the XHT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
