📎 AI Summary:
The original poster, sportman13, wants to revert their Firefox bookmarks backup file from being opened with WordPad back to its default JSON format. Neemobeer responds that the file association is controlled by registry settings, specifically pointing to certain registry paths, implying that modifying these settings can change the default program used to open the file. The overall discussion centers on restoring the correct file association for JSON files.

OpensWith is all controlled by registry settings

and globally at HKCR\.json
