How do I make gmail the default email program for email links in the Mozilla browser?

In previous versions of Mozilla I was able to click an email link , for example, on a craigslist listing and it would automatically open my gmail login page or if I was already logged in it would prompt a new email (compose) with the email field already populated with the email link from which it was prompted. Hard to explain but currently it initiates an Outlook Express session which I don't use or even have configured. How is this process edited to work the way I would like it to? Thanks

  • Zip 7 says there is no default email program. How do I make gmail my default email program so i can zip and mail files using zip 7.

    Can't use zip 7 to zip and send files. Keep getting error message
    There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install a program or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel. There is no mail program in the default programs control panel. There's no file to associate with it.
    I'm getting very frustrated. I have school files that need to be emailed and I can't figure this zip7 out
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi CB01,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that you need to set up a default mail program to mail zip 7 files.
    In the Control Panel of your operating system there are file extensions that you can set a default program to use for mailing.

  • How can I make "mail" my default email app?

    When I click on an email address from Cobook or on a web page viewed in Safari, the chrome app opens to a gmail account that I rarely use. How can I make my regular Mail app the default?
    Thanks.

    Open Mail -> Preferences. Under the General tab there should be an option to select the default Mail app.

    Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can check the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.
    If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.

  • How to Make Gmail the default mailto: link

    I need help.
    I would like to make gmail my default mailto provider in Safari.  Gmail Notifier used to take care of this, but since Google removed that program, I haven't figured out a way to do it.
    Right now, Safari will start the Mail app when I want click a mailto: link.  I don't want to use the Mail app.  I'd like to keep everything web-based.
    I don't have any desire to switch to another browser, but if there is no option, I'd have no choice.
    Does anyone know of an app or safari extention that will accomplish this?
    Thanks

    No, this will only allow me to choose a platform based email reader.  (mail, outlook, etc)
    What I would like to happen is when I click an email link, it uses gmail's web based email system. 
    This is easy to do with firefox and chrome, and used to be easy to do with Safari using Google Notifier, but that program has been discontinued.
    I ready where there used to be a safari extention that would accomplish this, but I can't find it anymore either.
    I don't want to stop using Safari, but if I can't send an email simply by clicking the link, I will have to.

    Right-click on that saved image's thumbnail in Windows to bring up a menu.
    Select "Open with..." and from that "Choose default program"
    A box will open up with a list of Programs to  choose from. Photoshop CS6 64 bit should be in that list.
    Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is checked.
    If you do not see it in the list, click the Browse button in this box and it will show folders in the Program Files directory. Double click "Adobe" then Photoshop CS6 (64-bit), then select Photoshop.exe and click "Open". It should add it to the list.
    Click OK and when you double-click on your saved file, it should open in Photoshop.
    Let me know if that worked for you or if you have other questions.

  • How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?

    How do I make Photoshop the default Edit App for .jpg in Windows 7?    I want to be able to right click on a .jpg file, select the EDIT option in the Context Menu, then have Photoshop edit the file instead of Paint.
    In Windows XP it was very easy to use the File Manger to associate the file type .jpg and action edit with Photoshop.    No so easy in Windows 7.  It is easy to change the default OPEN application, but I would like to leave Windows Viewer as the default OPEN application and have Photoshop as the EDIT applicaiton.

    Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head.  I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
    These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
    1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
    You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
    2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image ->  shell -> edit -> command
    This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually. 
    3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
    You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
    Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes.  For me this is "C:\Program Files  (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"  
    Hit return.
    4.  Exit Regit and test.
