• Any Web site I'll, will automatically switch to another Web browser when I click on a contact e-mail address link, even if firefox is my default?

  When I'm on a Web site, when I try to use the e-mail address provided in the contact section of the website whatever, I'm on, as soon as I click on the link to contact this person or persons, it will immediately move to Google Chrome, rather than continue to use Firefox, even though I have Firefox set as my default browser.

  Someone suggested that I go to my control panel and make sure that Firefox is selected, I went there to do this, set it as default and checked what it says under Chrome while I was there for. He said Chrome I have 1 default on 20. I went to see what it was. He has access to HTML, or whatever that one is (I can go back and get the full name if necessary) why would they automatically this default value assigned to them? I could not not - select this option for Chrome, it was not possible to for change, it is mandatory?

  Is this what can I do to configure Firefox for all the default settings?

• System default mail client (Thunderbird) does not appear in mailto applications.

  I use Thunderbird as the application mailto in Firefox. The only options listed for mailto are GMail, Yahoo mail, always ask and choose application. Use default does not appear.

  I solved this. By clicking on "other use" in applications of mailto, 'Cancel' when a window opens to select the application, and then clicking on one application other than mailto, and the e-mail client default system is selected. A user little seems hostile. I use Firefox 24 under Ubuntu 13.04 BTW.

• How to configure Hotmail as the default mailto simply, without gobbildy-gook

  I use Windows7 and Hotmail in Firefox yet it cannot default as my mailto. I saw gecko etc. and that's the bit of java that does nothing.
  Y at - it anyone who can solve this simply, I used an app before but I can't find it now.
  Be specific in your instructions. Please, I beg you.

  Hmm, after all that, I noticed an extension that does this is a whole other way: it changes the links in the page of mailto links (Firefox turns to a mail Manager) to Live Mail make up links. I have not tested myself: Live Mailer.

• Firefox launches Zimbra Desktop for mailto links

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Core 2 Duo

  Run Firefox 26.

  Installed Zimbra Desktop Email client, when I click on mailto links, it offers only Yahoo and Gmail.

  In IE and other programs Zimbra launches when I use these programs messaging features.

  Zimbra is set to the default e-mail client.

  Also curiously the download button in the upper right does not work, I can see downloads but when I click the button nothing.

  Usually Firefox will be check out your email client by default in the registry or a good highlight.

  Sometimes the file that stores the file associations is damaged with updates and either conflicting entries correctly. The solution is simply to rename the file and have Firefox regenerate. If you want to try, here's what you do.

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Leave this window open, wwitch back to Firefox and output

  Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

  Restart Firefox. I hope that now Zimbra is detected and you can select. Please note that if you already changed your configuration to a PDF file from the viewer into another, you have to change it again.

• Firefox version 12 application MAILTO doesn't work do not

  Applications of FF12 using the "MAILTO" does not

  My application is supposed to generate an e-mail message and put it in the Outbox. Version 12 Firefox stops with a Google search page with the MAILTO info in the search field. FF and TB are default

  This application has since worked on version 3 ff.

  No other changes have been made to my PC, two except version 12 of loading. Go back to version 11 and I have no problem.

  Perform a Google search, I see that applications using the option "MAILTO" is a big problem with Firefox version 12. See http://boardreader.com/thread/Firefox_and_Email_problem_9rc6X2c9zx.html as well as others.

  I reload the version 11 and I have no problem.

  I use Avast AIS (including malware/firewall software) on a PC & MSN MSE on another (windows 7 64) (both have the same problem)
