I tried using firefox and display command i cant open them
is there any other way?

thank you

firefox can open them just fine. If you want to directly open the html file from a console, just type:

Code:

firefox filename

BTW, this question has nothing to do with bioinformatics. If you need help using linux, you'd be better off posting on a linux (or whatever exactly you're using) specific board.
