I'm trying to set Gmail as my default mail program in Firefox. When I go to Applications, there is no "mailto" application and I'm unable to select Gmail for emails.

Thanks

Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

You can check the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page. If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.

Sorry, but that solution was beyond my abilities. I'm a bit of a dinosaur. Should I uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
