As we have said before, these files are mainly used in the adobe fireworks software and contain commands for the program to execute actions.

It is important to note that this software is discontinued, Adobe decided a few years ago not to release new versions, but would continue to provide security updates for existing versions.

In both Windows and MacOS we can open and view JSF files using Adobe Fireworks. Here we will show you how.

On Windows PCs

It is very easy to open a JSF file from your computer with Windows operating system, you will simply have to locate the file you want to open and double click on it and if you have Adobe Fireworks installed it will probably open automatically.

In case you have installed the software and the file does not open automatically, A dialog box will open where you can choose “Select a program from the list of installed programs” and then click “To accept”. Once this is done we will select Adobe Fireworks if it is in the list or if it is not found we will click on “Review” and we will locate it on our computer.

When we have found Adobe Fireworks we will click on “To accept”, not without first marking “Always use the selected program for these types of files.” From now on our files will open automatically with a double click.

On Mac computers

You can also open JSF files from your MacOS computer with just open Finder and double click the file that we want to open to run automatically with Adobe Fireworks.

In case you don’t have installed adobe fireworks we will have to acquire the program to be able to visualize the file.

We already said it, it is not a different software. It should be noted that Fireworks was developed by Macromedia, but in 2005 this company was acquired by the software industry giant.

The truth is Macromedia Fireworks is nothing more than the initial version of the software before Adobe acquired the rights and continue to develop it. This works perfectly if we want to display our JSF files.

Macromedia Fireworks MX

The above was the latest version of the software while owned by Macromedia. This is an even older version that would correspond to v6.0 of it, which was released three years earlier. This version of the program can still be found on the web and will help us open our files with the JSF extension.
