@Persistant, I appreciate the tip but it didn't work for me. I'm leaving it here in case it will work for others though. I suspect most folks have moved on from FF3 by now. In any case, multiple versions of Firefox don't really play that well together on the same Mac.

This has an easy fix --- Dreamweaver just doesn't LIKE the name Foxfire. After a heapin' helpin' of frustration, I named mine Erifxof (foxfire backwards) in the "Dreamweaver, Preferences, Preview in Browser," and gave it the backwards name, but CHOSE Firefox from my list of applications. Now both browser and software are happy! Seems like someone played a prank...

Same for me; annoying and Dreamweaver can't preview with it's stablemate "SeaMonkey 2" as well. It's a Mozilla thing.

yep same problem running off a mac...all i can say is thank heavens for the www it makes solving issues like these a cinch.....at least i found out pretty quickly that it wasn't me!! yeah opening it up manually is a long winded way to have to preview in mozilla without downgrading....i'm surprised they haven't yet picked up on this issue.
