When using Mozilla/Firefox, I cannot save new MHTML files with Firefox icon-the icon appears to be the same as "Text icon". Also, I cannot use the "Opens With" to change existing MHTML files from IE icons to the Firefox icon. Some FF icons are correct, such as FF startup icon on desktop and in "Start" button menu. All other HTML files on desktop and in folders still show the original IE icons. By deep Googling, I find suggestions to delete "defaulticon" and other tweaks to the registry. None of these seem to work and make the problem worse. Using XP Pro, SP3.

What kind of file extension do those files have?

I would assume that that file extension is associated with IE because Firefox can't handle such files and IE can.

You would need to change the default icon for that file extension in Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types
