Hi there,
long time no tour generated, now startinng with a little problem: when I create a tour and save it, it directly opens in Firefox without any problem. When I try to open it directly from the output folder by clicking the index.html-file it does not work, I only see a black screen in Firefox. With Safari everything works properly. Does anybody have an idea, which settings in Firefox might not fit ? Greets and thanks ...

Hi,
You can not open the HTML page directly from the output folder due to local file restrictions.
This is why Pano2VR has a built in web server so you can see the output locally.
You can use the desktop package viewer: https://ggnome.com/ggpkgviewer/
Or you can adjust your browser to ignore the local file restrictions, best Google it for your browser.
Regards,

You can use NW.js:
https://nwjs.io/

Works great without any problems on both: Win and Mac and is very simple to use.
If you do not know how to use I can show basic tutorial here.
