how do i make my aol mail the default 'mail to' link when i click on a reply link as in craigslis
i recently started using firefox and was on craigslist. i clicked on a 'reply to' link to ask seller a question. with windows vista, it linked me to my outlook to send that email. with firefox, a dialog box opened and asked me to select a mail account--aol was my choice and it works great. i purchased a new computer with windows 7 and installed firefox. when i tried again to reply to a craigslist post, the dialog box opened but aol was not one of the options. i want to know how to set that up. the help section was no help to me. thanks.

sorry, i'm not too computer savvy, but what i understand is i should choose the gmail application in the dialog box?? is this correct to work my aol mail account?? thanks again
I never try this application but i check people review that it works well to set default mail cilent in Firefox, go to that page for details
thanks for the info, unfortunately i'm not sure that will help. does anyone have an answer to make aol my default mail when i click on reply to links?

i tried that...when i get to the list of programs, AOL is not one of them. i guess what i need to know is how to add AOL to the list. thanks for all the help
i don't know if you figured this out, are still seeking an answer, or just gave up. i finally found out how to do it after a long search myself:
-go to your webmail.aol.com account -options-->settings-->compose -scroll down and you'll see an option to "Use AOL Mail as your email client when browsing web pages." select it. -restart firefox and AOL should be at the top of the list, or go to tools-->options-->applications and scroll down to "mail to" and select AOL so it is ALWAYS the choice.
