Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Win7, Outlook 2003 email. Firefox will not use my Outlook email even when set as the default, or when "always asked" is used. Always tries to open Windows Live when "sending link", or with website hyperlinks for email.

This has all been done and the problem persists.

It tries to open Outlook first, then the message "Navigation to this webpage was cancelled" and it proceeds to open Windows Live mail.

I don't know if the problem is with Outlook or Firefox..

Have you tried a Windows7 support forum?
It sounds to me like the Operating System is canceling the "mailto call" to Outlook 2003 and redirecting it to Windows Live, instead.

that would explain a lot... thanks - I'm inclined to agree.
