HOW DO I SET HOTMAIL AS DEFAULT EMAIL IN WINDOWS 7 WITH FOXFIRE? THANKS!

When I go to "set default programs" .. Hotmail is not listed! I am a grandmother of 11 so this is the extent of my knowledge! I don't know where else to go to get hotmail on. My purpose is so that when I want to link a website to my email the email that opens is Hotmail.
Secondly, on Hotmail .. when you copy a web link.. then go to a Hotmail email .. paste it into their little "link" sign .. I hate it when it already has the "https://" in it! Good heavens .. if you have to go to the trouble of copying and pasting .. you've already copied that part and have to go to the trouble of deleting that "https://"! Does anyone know how to permanently get rid of THAT problem?? I'm hoping the first question solves this and I won't have to deal with the second! If Hotmail is my default and the link automatically goes into the body like in IE .. I'll be a happy camper!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Thank you, Swarnava, for the help. I am going to pause and think about this for a little --- I may just have to live with the inconvenience, rather than the security risk of installing an unknown program... but your help is very much appreciate it.
It is indeed strange, because it used to work fine in previous versions of Firefox (or perhaps something external from Firefox changed...)

    No.  That's a browser-specific function.  In fact, it's much better 
    to make the scrollbar visible on ALL pages than it is to try to hide 
    them on some pages.  You can make the scrollbar always visible 
    (thereby preventing the content on longer pages from shifting left 
    when the scrollbar appears) with this simple CSS -

  • How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

    I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

    You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info.  Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
    If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
    If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.

    Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function.  Contact your carrier to see if they have this option.  If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name.  Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

    How do I set up a rescue email on an already existing Apple ID

    Hey lehrke5555,
    Thanks for the question, you are on the right track. The article you referenced provides steps for editing a rescue email address - you can follow the same steps to add a rescue email address.
    1. Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    2. Click "Manage your account"
    3. When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    4. Click Password & Security
    5. You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    6. After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Please note that you will need to know the answers to your security questions to setup a rescue email address. If you do not know the answers to your security questions, follow the instructions to contact iTunes Store Support.

  • How Can I Set Photoshop to Default Open the Most Recent Folder

    Lately, Photoshop CC always opens a default folder-which is several clicks away from the folder I am using. How do I set it to default to the most recent open folder when I click "OPEN" ?

    They would seem to be, but it's possible that they were released separately in the iTunes Store. Some apps are different but named the same (Angry Birds being a case in point). Not having any of those apps I can't say with any certainty. It's definitely not normal for iTunes to keep older versions.
    If you're still on Mac OS X 10.5.6 as your profile indicates, update to 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes and see if that makes any difference.
    Regards.
