Just downloaded Firefox & Thunderbird, but I can't get TB to come up as the mail option. When I first tried to use the mail option on FF it brought up the Classic environment & the Netscape browser, so I've removed that to the trash but now the Firefox mail icon doesn't do anything. Obviously I can use TB seperately, but is there any way I can get them to work together? I've been through all the options/settings but can't find anything.

Go to Mail>preferences>general on the Mail menu bar, and set the default mail reader to Thunderbird.

Essentially the same thing in Safari sets the default to Firefox

Thanks - that hadn't occurred to me - I was messing with Preferences in FF & TB.

It really isn't obvious, is it? I had to look long and hard on the net to find it.

Apparently pre-Tiger versions of OS X made this a much simpler task!

It makes the email button in Acrobat useless though..... Bah!
