When I click on an email link in a website, Outlook used to open. Recently however, Gmail is opening instead. I tried to change the settings in tools, options, applications and it says Outlook is my client.

I also went to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set program access and defaults and chose Outlook, but it keeps resetting to use existing program.

I realize the second solution I tried isn't a Firefox issues, but I wanted you to know what I have tried to get Outlook back as my email client.

I use Windows XP, service pack 3

I see you have Google Toolbar installed. In the Google Toolbar Options dialog, on the Search panel there is an option to use Gmail, make sure it is not selected.
