Why I hate installing new software.

So I install Firefox. One of the first things I do then is try to call up my email client. In all its wisdom, Firefox calls up Outlook Express. I have never used that client and never intend to! Naturally I cannot find a way to get it to call Netscape Messenger. In modern computer parlance, this is called "user friendly".

Fyron, any idea how I can get it to call up my email client and not this default client?
Type in firefox address bar: "aboutfig" (without quotes). Enter.

Locate string "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto". It's set to "false" by default. Set it to true (double click on the string - type "true").

Close FF. Launch Messenger, and set this mail client as default one.

Should work, although I don't guarantee.
