The funny thing is.. when i clicked the link to this reply (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338150) it opend my documents again.

it has to be something in the "file associations" that mozilla is not taking over.  As i said before If i use IE and tell it to be my default... then links work fine from email. when i go back to firefox and tell it to be the default i go to "my documents"... 

one thing to note.. when i used the previous firefox everything worked fine..
only having problems with this new version..
