Sending E-mail

[johnnort]

Hello,

I run Windows 7 on my lap top with Firefox as my search engine and Gmail for sending and receiving mail. Although I have Gmail as default, each time I press ´send an Email to´ on a WEB page it opens in Outlook and not Gmail. I have obviously to change some setting or other but do not know where or what to do. Any assistance would be appreciated.

john I have just got win 7 3 weeks now when you have logged into gmail have you clicked on compose top left??

Thanks Jollyposty but the problem is not sending mail within gmail. The problem lies with websites that allow you to press a send mail icon within their webpage.

Doctormann, I will check out the link. Thanks

Doctormann, Tried what was stated but after cutting and pasting the address I cannot enter it and I have nothing that states Add gmail as an application etc.. The quotation marks have been omitted. What to do now? Any ideas?

Not sure about this, but is that silly 'Bing' search tool enabled in Firefox? That may be why those reply emails are opening up in Outlook

('coz Bing and Outlook are MSoft products).

Uninstall Bing (Control Panel > Programs and Features > highlight Bing, then uninstall).

Google and Gmail are pals, thus when searching with google, gmail should be default email tool.

If what I have just suggested is pure equine excreta, a sure bet is to browse with chrome, logged in via your gmail.

Cheers, AA

THis is also a Gmail problem ,is anyone else having problems after

gmail in their wisdom,changed the way you compose and reply to

an email, now I get a pop up which says something like the certificate

for this page is not signed correctly,accept, decline ? and if I am replying

to an email, type the first line and click to move to next line, click again

nothing happens,try to move to next line and the whole page disappears,

Why do they keep trying to improve things when theirs nothing wrong to

start with!, Yahoo is the same go to email and a page comes up do you

want to optimism Firefox or Safari for use with Yahoo, dont have those

browsers !
