View Full Version : Firefox - I would like Windows Mail as default
I use Mozilla Firefox as my Internet Browser. If I want to send a link to someone, I click: File>send link>
but my default E mail - Windows Mail does not come up. Instead, Outlook 2003 Startup wizard appears for me to configure Outlook e mail. I don't want to do this.
I would like my Windows Mail to appear. How can I do this?
I have looked through the Mozilla options (I am sure it must be there, but I cannot find it).
On my old computer with XP OS my default mail appeared through Firefox.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I also use Firefox (with XP) and I have Outlook Express as my default email. I've looked through the Firefox options and couldn't find anything about changing the default email client .. but the help files do state that Firefox automatically imports your IE setting on installation.
So the best suggestion I can come up with would be to check and make sure the email client you want is set as the default email proggie in IE properties.
If that doesn't correct things and nobody comes along with something more helpful ... set the desired email client in IE then reinstall Firefox and it should import your new IE settings.
Hope that might help.

Yay! What a clever girl you are. There was no default in IE, so I input Windows Mail and just reloaded Firefox and Voila there it was "Windows Mail" already with the DP Now link (and noone to send it to):D Thanks Pol.
