In your profile, find the file user.js. If it does not exist, create it as a plain-text file. Insert the following: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true); // to use external E-mail, // also had to set Windows to use Thunderbird as defaul E-mail client The semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line is required. The second and third lines are merely comments to document why you have done this. The preference variable network.protocol-handler.external.mailto can also be set by requesting about:config. However, you cannot insert commenbts. You must also tell Windows that you want Thunderbird as your default E-mail application. You appear to be using Windows XP. From your Start button, go to [Settings > Control Panel]. On the Control Panel, I recall there is an icon for Internet. Somewhere in that item is where you indicate your default application. -- David E.
