(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[BSz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

If I click on: File -> Send Link ...
nothing happens. 
I did not find any way to specify what my mail client is so I could not play with this settings. I use gmail, yahoo and outlook express. I would prefer if I could send the links in outlook express, but I would not mind if it were an other client as long as I could send links with a single click. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a page ( for example www.yahoo.com)
2.Click onf File
3.Click on Send link
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. This used to open an outlook express mail, but not any more. After I have installed google toolbar for a while this method used to open my gmail, but this does not happen either any longer.
I have expected an email window to appear with the Page title as the subject and the link in the body of the email.

Expected Results:  
Nothing.

You should check what is your default mail client in windows, Firefox uses that

also try in Safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode) to exclude some extension problem

Default email client is Outlook Express.
Firefox is not using it or it is blocked by something. 
My virus software is McAfee, in the log there is no sign of blocking any communication between Firefox and Outlook Express.
