Why I hate installing new software. 
So I install Firefox. One of the first things I do then is try to call up my email client. In all its wisdom, Firefox calls up Outlook Express. I have never used that client and never intend to! Naturally I cannot find a way to get it to call Netscape Messenger. In modern computer parlance, this is called "user friendly".
Fyron, any idea how I can get it to call up my email client and not this default client?

Type in firefox address bar: "about  fig" (without quotes). Enter.
Locate string "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto". It's set to "false" by default. Set it to true (double click on the string - type "true").
Close FF. Launch Messenger, and set this mail client as default one.
Should work, although I don't guarantee. |

Re: OT: Spread Firefox
Firefox is a real nice browser. IE is improved with SP2, but is still target #1 for the a$$ wipes that write exploits. Still have to keep IE, there are a lot of things that it will do that Firefox won't.

Mostly due to that quagmire that is ActiveX.

Yeah, ActiveX is needed for a lot of things.

A bit of hyperbole, but the message is true nonetheless...
