Set Your Default Email Program in Firefox
I was forced to write this post because over the weekend I realized how many people who use web-based email clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc) don’t have them set up as the default email client in Firefox. This allows you to click on an email address on a webpage and have your webmail open a new email to compose. Here’s how you do it:
- Go to Tools, then Options in Firefox.
- Click on the Applications Tab and in the Search box type “mail”. You should see the following image
- In the dropdown menu you can select to use Microsoft Outlook or you can select Gmail or Yahoo. Since you should already be using Gmail, just select Gmail and you’ll be good to go.
On a side note, the blog might have less posts in the coming weeks as the team will be travelling. We’ll try, but no promises.
