First, this is not a problem with making Firefox my default browser.
It already is.
I have been using IE but recently switched to Firefox because I run
Win98, and IE has lots of security problems. But with IE, in Tools
>Options > Programs, I could assign a certain email program to open
automatically when I clicked an email link in a Web site. I use Web
mail; my email domain, sbcglobal.net, uses AT&T Yahoo Mail, which is
actually just Yahoo Mail. So in IE I specfied AT&T Yahoo Mail. When I
clicked an email link, another IE window opened to a Yahoo Mail
compose screen.
Firefox does not have that option. I can set it as my default browser,
but that does nothing with email. So, even though I am in Firefox when
i click an email link. it opens an IE window for my AT&T Yahoo Mail.
A guy who was working on my computer (Doctor Jay in Michigan) found a
Web site with an extension that addresses this problem for
most Web mail, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail. So I thought it would
help in my case, but it just opens a Gmail login screen because it
doesn't recognize sbcglobal.net as yahoo mail, I guess.
Anyone know how I can click an email link to open a compose screen in
another Firefox window,
not IE?
Thanks,
Beth
