There are 2 settings to check for email programs, one is the Windows default email program which you probably already have set to Outlook. The other is a Firefox setting that determines how it handles mailto links. The second one may be set to Gmail. For details see Change the program used to open email links

You need to make that change in the Google Toolbar settings.

Google Toolbar: Settings > Options > More: "Send with Gmail")

SUPER HELPFUL. With Google toolbar hidden I forgot I even had it...and was frustrated by trying other options that were supposed to be working (such a simple fix that was sitting in the background). Thanks!!
