Hi Pam. I know your problem has been solved already but I did find this
on the Mozilla.org site about problems opening links in email using
Firefox. For anyone else having this problem, you can go here
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq#email and read all of the
FAQ's for Firefox. Anyway, here are some suggestions from that page
about the above mentioned problem.
E-mail links don't seem to work in Firefox?
If you're using Mozilla (Application Suite) as your mail client,
you've probably noticed that Firefox either doesn't do anything or
it starts Outlook Express when you click on a mailto link. This is
because Mozilla Messenger doesn't correctly register itself as the
default mailto protocol handler on Windows. However, Mozilla
Messenger registers itself as the default /mail client/, which is
slightly different. You will have to fix this problem manually.
In Windows XP/2000, select Folder Options in the Control Panel, then
click on the File Types tab. Here, browse to the file type called
"(None) URL:MailTo Protocol" and click Advanced. Select the "open"
action and click Edit. Uncheck the "Use DDE" option and specify the
full path to |mozilla.exe| in the "Application used to perform
action" field. Enclose the path in quotation marks and append
-compose %1. The result should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -compose %1
Another solution would be to stop using the Mozilla Application
Suite and use the standalone mail client Mozilla Thunderbird
<http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/> instead.
When I click on a link from another application, Firefox opens up a new
window. Can I use tabs instead?
Yes, this is possible with Firefox 1.0RC1 or newer. Go to Tools >
Options... > Advanced > Tabbed Browsing, and select "Open links from
other applications in: a new tab in the most recent window".
