Setting default Open program fails

Trying to set a specific program to open a specific extension. In this
instance it's Firefox. Was working before but not now. I uninstalled
Firefox to check out an issue I was having and reinstalled from scratch. I
am trying to set Firefox as the default program to open .xpi files. If I
right click on a .xpi file and select Open With, Choose Program then Browse
and select Firefox.exe to use it does not get selected when I return to the
main Open With dialog. If I go to Tools | File Types select .XPI file type
and select Change I get the same problem. I cannot make Firefox the default
App that opens an .XPI file type. I accidently selected Adobe Reader the
first time I tried so I know I can at least set something.

Seems to me that something might be screwy with the way Firefox was
installed and not fully registered.
 
Thank you Ramesh. That fixed the issue. Still not sure why it was an issue
to begin with though.
