I occasionally respond to a email address and Microsoft outlook express comes up instead of gmail, which I prefer. How can I keep Outlook from butting in?

Good news! It's really straightforward to make Firefox use Gmail instead of Outlook Express.

Could you please follow the instructions under the "Setting Firefox's mail client" section this article and let us know whether they do the trick?

Thanks,

I cannot find the "mailto" file; I can see all of the other files but not the mailto. Could I have erased it? I am searching for it but as of now I can't find it. I am using XP.
