Firefox automatically opens wrong mail program

Hello,
I'm trying to make it so it doesn't open Microsoft Entourage every time I click on an e-mail address in Firefox. I would like it to open Mail. How do I change this?
Thanks

How typical. Figured it out literally 5 seconds after I hit submit. Thanks anyways, how do I / can I delete this thread?

At startup, Firefox automatically opens between 9 and 20 individual browswers.

Every time I start up my laptop (Dell Inspiron), Firefox automatically opens at least 9 (often more, the number varies) individual browsers. Each browser has just one tab -- the Firefox Start page with Google search (http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official).
I've clicked through all the options in Firefox, but I have no idea how to fix this. I also Googled for similar problems, and was unable to find anything.
I set the "This happened" field below to "Every time Firefox opened," but really it should be "Every time I turned my laptop on."

Did you create a new profile for the 4.0 beta version?

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

How do you have a file automatically open in mail, like a Constant Contact email?

If there is a way to automatically open an attached file in a Mail item, it is not one that I would use, because I want to stay in control of my Mac! Who is it from, whats in it and so on... To me bad idea but then the choice is yours.

Just installed Lion and iCloud. Now I'm not able to open the Mail program. What's the problem? Thanks. Andrew

Dear Ralph, thank you for your lightspeed answer!
When I had installed the app, there was been written: "open", and when I pushed this, NO reaction of the iPad! And crazy too: I am NOT able to find the app itself at any screen of the iPad!!! I can see it only in the list "bought" items. With other words: The app is neither to be seen nor I am able to open it in the "list".
Thank you in advance for your advice

Mail (5.3) OS X 10.7.5 mail program crashing when opening an email with attachment. Any suggestions out there? I can open the mail program...send and receive emails...click on emails without attachments with no problem.

I am having a problem successfully opening an email containing attachment. I can open the mail program...send and receive emails...and view emails that do not contain attachments. But whenever I click on an email containing an attachment, I get the spinning beach ball for a few seconds and then the entire program closes. Any suggestions before I make a one hour trip to the Apple store for help?

I don't think an interactive portion of a PDF is an obscure problem (lots of designers I know use rollable PDF files for emailing 3D models) and while I understand that it's in a legacy program, there is no guarantee if I purchase Acrobat X, that the same problem won't exist. It's no an issue in Reader 10 but then again, it wasn't an issue in Reader 9 either. Since Adobe doesn't give trial versions for Mac (stupid), I have no way of checking this. The problem doesn't annoy me as much as being an Adobe product user who upgraded only to not have functionality and not have a way to have it resolved.

Stop Firefox automatically opening homepage when opening links in external apps.

When Firefox is not running, and intermittently when running and there are no windows open, clicking a link in another program (such as Tweetie or Apple's Mail.app) causes Firefox to open a second window with my homepage in it.
I cannot find a way to disable this in settings, and it happens on 3.6 and 4.0 Beta, both Windows and Mac (haven't tried Linux).
If this is a "feature" please let me know if there is a way of preventing it as it's very frustrating. If I want to open my homepage I will open the app manually by clicking it's icon, otherwise I want just my link to open and nothing else.

That is a bug on Mac (reopened).<br />

How can i set up mac mail to allow read emails on hotmail from online to show as read when i open the mail program?

i use the default mail program on my macs to read my mail. my main account is hotmail. i also read my mail from my iphone, ipad, and internet while at work. I have been able to sync the internet version of hotmail and my iphone to sync so that if i read a message, it is marked as read on my iphone and vice versa. however, i cannot get the sync to function with the mac mail program. when i open the program it still marks all the messages as unread, despite them already being open and read from either the internet version of hotmail, or from my iphone. does anyone know any ways to fix this? thank you

On the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
Pick Mail account.
On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
You can then manually create the account.

When I click a link on a webpage to send the webpage an e-mail, a blank e-mail automatically opens in mail. I use Outlook. Where do I change the default to automatically open to an Outlook email?

How do I stop Firefox automatically opening and forcing me onto a second tab with a Google sign-in every time I open Firefox?

Every time I open Firefox to search for something - it automatically opens a second tab and forces me to that tab. On the second tab is the Google account login. I now avoid using Firefox if I can because I cannot shut this off.

Does this also happen in Safe Mode? You can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
Also, on the General tab in Firefox preferences, what are "When Firefox starts" and "Home Page" set to?

Why doesn't iPhoto automatically open Mac Mail?

I'm hating iPhoto at the moment. I use Mac Mail so that I can keep track of sent mail. iPhoto doesn't do this. For example, I just discovered that a dead email account was still on the list in iPhoto preferences, so I'm not sure if the email I just sent went using my current or my old address. I naturally went to Mac Mail to check my sent list, but there is no indication that I sent an email to anyone.
I also do not like typing the email within a browser window. I would much prefer it when I click "share" that Mac Mail would automatically open.
I really, really wish Apple would solve this problem.

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the mail account that's there. Then add it back and try Mail again.

Stop automatically opening next mail

Is there a way to stop Mail from opening the next message? I often want to leave a message unread. But if I delete a read message, Mail automatically opens the next in line. Is there a way that I can manually decide which ones to open and NOT have this automatic feature? I've examine the preferences and cannot find any indication there.

the only way to do that is to collapse the message viewing window completely.
That will mean that you'll have to double-click on a message to view it but it will keep it unread untill then.

Post your question in the forum for Adobe Reader.

How do i make firefox automatically open a file. "Do this automatically with files like this from now on." does NOT work.

I have firefox set to Open .wav files with VLC and i have the check box marked to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." But every time i click download for a .wav voicemail from gmail, i get the same dialog box. I just want firefox to hand the downloaded file to VLC and play it. I don't want to have to click anything after i click the download link. Isn't that action what i'm telling firefox to do after i mark the checkbox with "Do this automatically with file like this from now on." ? Isn't that implied with my selection of the box? How can i fix this?i want to click a "download" link for a .wav voice mail in Gmail and have it automatically play in VLC without any further interaction from me.

No it's saving the preferences and the check box remains checked from session to session. It will even continue to ask me to what to do with the file even in the same session when i try to download the same file again 5 seconds after i downloaded it the first time.
