How do I make gmail not Outlook Express my default email program in firefox?

This used to just work on a different system and I don't remember having to set any default settings. For example, when I am browsing through craigslist and want to email someone that has posted an ad I used to being able to just click the encrypted hyperlink to that person and the gmail login page would come up. On this system it prompts me to use OE. I've tried disabling OE, I've tried deleting OE (won't let me delete), I've deleted OE from the registry but still it pops up when I'm in Firefox. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

  • How I launch mailto using outlook express, my default mail program.

    I have downloaded firefox browser for Win XP. I have a default mail program on my computer. I have checked and firefox recognizes it as default. How can I access it from the browser and can I set a bookmark? for quick access. Thanks

    #Right click the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and go to Properties.<br><br>
    #Click the Programs tab and make sure it says "Outlook Express" in the Email menu.<br><br>
    #Close that and then in Firefox, press the ALT key to toggle the text menu links on (and off).<br><br>
    #Click File and then "Send Link".
    It should open OE with the link to whatever page you're on.

  • Adobe Shared Review Doesn't Recognize Outlook 2010 as Default Email Program

    We just received new laptops from our company with Windows 7 on them and Acrobat 9.4.0. Previously, we were using Windows XP with Acrobat 8.3.2 and didn't have the following issue.
    When I begin a shared review and get to the Add Email dialog, I click To: and Acrobat pops up an error that Outlook is not the default email program. Fact is, though, it is the default email program. I checked under Default Programs and made sure Microsoft Outlook was set.
    Needless to say, this completely prohibits us from using Shared Review. There is no way around this that I can see (I tried just typing in email addresses but then it tells me it can't send it because I don't have an email client).
    Outlook opens fine via email links from my browsers (IE and FF), other documents, etc. The IE default email is set to Outlook as well (not sure that makes a difference).
    My fear is that this is a result of Windows 7 'not being fully supported by Adobe until an undisclosed release'. Please tell me I am wrong and there is a setting I am missing.
    I am inserting an image of the error.

  • How Can I Make Acrobat Not Resize Images?

    I am trying to turn around 80 images into the pages of a PDF file. The pictures are saved as JPEGs and have the exact dimensions I want them to have as pages of a PDF. When I turn them into a PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 they get resized so when viewed at 100% the text looks like crap. I want to know how I can make Acrobat not mess with the dimensions of my pictures when turning them into a PDF. I make the PDF by clicking the Create button and selecting Merge Files into a Single PDF... . I then drag and drop the pictures into the window and click Combine Files. I have tried all three of the File Size settings and all of them turn out wrong. How can I make this expensive program work the way I want it to by doing htis simple thing right?
    I have attached two files, the first of one of the images that will make a page viewed in windows picture and fax viewer at the original size. The second is a screen shot of the messed up PDF with blurry text, viewed at 100%. I want the text in the second picture to look just like the text in the first.

    I am not trying to justify Adobe's choice, just an explanation of what may have happened. When one asks for 100%, there is a question of by pixel, by inches (cm), or by size on the screen. These are interpretations and the fact that MS and Adobe interpret them differently is not surprising. However, I think that what you are seeing is a result of the pixel display issues on the screen and with proper sizing, they should appear the same (at least I think). In Acrobat, there is also a smoothing feature under the display preferences that may be an issue and is related to how it extrapolates for the pixels.

    how do you make it not so sensitivity. when turned off set down it comes back on or when working out shirt brushes ipod and it changes music

    You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.

  • How do I make previews (not thumbnails) larger in Bridge?

    How do I make previews (not thumbnails) larger in Bridge?

    I agree with Yammer.
    What I do is move my Preview panel to the middle (just drag and look for the "blue" placement cues) and have the Content Panel on my right. By dragging the size of your Bridge window or by dragging the panels separation regions left or right, you can increase the size of your Preview window to your satisfaction.
    I've no clue as to why Adobe chose the workspace they did.

  • How do I make other email programs my Default Email programs in Windows XP?

    I'm not the most tech savvy person, but I've researched this, and haven't found the solution yet. Doing a search it tells you to go to Start>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>click on Set Program Access and Defaults>Click the Drop-Down menu under "Custom."
    Then under "Custom," there's a heading in bold titled, "Choose a default e-mail program:"
    I look to choose Firefox, but it doesn't exist. There are 3 options given.
    1) Use my current email program, which is checked. (but how does it know what it is?)
    2) Outlook Express (off to the right checked off is "Enable access to this program.")
    3) Windows Live Mail (off to the right checked off is "Enable access to this program.")
    - I know Firefox does not have email, but I figured someone out there has a similar problem and can help.
    ** I'm trying to add Yahoo, Gmail, and Aol mail to this list, but I have no idea how to do it.
    ** I've already changed the program used to open email links in the Firefox browser settings: Tools>Option>Application>scroll down to "mailto" and there are options for Yahoo, Gmail, Aol mail.
    ** On the Set Program Access and Defaults menu as I explained above, there are other headings in bold. The one above the "choosing a default email program" is "choose a default web browser." Firefox is an option there, so I didn't have to add it.

    Hi the-edmeister. Thank you for your response.
    How come in several screen shots I've seen online searching for this solution in XP, the default email programs listed contain at least one of: yahoo, gmail, and aol?
    I understand they're web mail portals, but they are still appearing under the "Default Email Program" heading in "Custom."

  • File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

    File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

    I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
    Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
    You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
    Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

  • HT1637 How to set gmail as my default email program?

    Hi, I have attempted to follow the instructions to change my default email program. However, when I open "mail" and go to general preferences, it gives me the options of selecting from an application downloaded on my computer. I want to use gmail as my default email program. But it isn't an ap on my computer, it's online. So how do I set gmail as my default email program? Thanks very much!

    If you mean set it in your browser, you can't As you already pointed out, gmail is not a program on your computer it is a web site. You need to get your gmail account into an email client, such as Mail, on your computer. Then set your default email client to Mail, which in effect will be the same as using gmail since Mail is set up with your gmail account.
