my default email will not work, can't click on email links on websites, "send link" does not work. I have all my outlook settings set correctly. This all happened since upgrading to 5. FF also uses 100% of my CPU to open, before i even open any tabs, and takes up to 2 minutes to open. I have done all the troubleshooting I can. I am so frustrated, i can't do my job this way. what has happened to FF??

Below is a link that I used to resolve the problem. I use Google, so the directions are for Google, but can be used for a different e-mail. Hope it works!

Firefox itself does not have a email client as it is a web browser. If the browser opening when links are clicked in a message in the email client is not Firefox and some other browser then perhaps Windows could be confused or defaults may not stick properly as it can happen. Sometimes you need to force windows to know what is the default.
