Some possible solutions would be to reset this preference in your browser (look for the AccountRight protocol handler settings) or use a different browser from now on.

At this stage, you won't be able to open an AccountRight file if you're using:

Microsoft Edge as your browser
a mobile device
an Apple MAC.

You must use a browser on a computer with a Windows operating system and not an Apple MAC. See the system requirements for AccountRight.

We're busily working on getting these fixed and available for you.
