Accessing Thunderbird via Firefox (or other email programs too)

We had an email today from a listener who was looking for a way to access his Thunderbird (email program) from Mozilla Firefox. This is a feature that was found in previous versions of Firefox but is strangely absent from Firefox 2.0.

We found a nice little extension that resolves this problem .

This extension brings back the email button that was an option for your Firefox toolbar. Clicking this button invokes whatever your default email program happens to be.

    The original Firefox add-on we had linked dropped from some reason. I have re-linked a new extension that will create the button you are looking for to access your email program.
