How do I make Yahoo email default when I use Mozilla Firefox browser?
I am using the Mozilla Firefox browser and every time I click on an email link it brings up gmail. I want it to bring up Yahoo because that’s the email carrier I use. I changed the default email to Yahoo within Yahoo, but that didn’t help. What else should I do?
Nagesh answers:
To setup yahoo email as your default mail using Firefox 3 (Yahoo now recommend you use this browser) and it will work with Vista.
* Download and install firefox 3 http://downloads.yahoo.com/?p=win
* After installation and when you have Firefox 3 up and running, click “tools”, then “options”.
* In the options window that pops up, click the applications tab.
* Scroll down to “mailto” and change to “use yahoo mail”
* Finally click “OK”.

Nagesh answers:
I have a mac and don’t have this problem but my mother bought a new PC with vista and had the same problem as you. I too couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t let me download firefox. I had to go to cnet’s download.com and find an alternative link. That worked. Hope this helps you. Here is a link if you need it http://www.download.com/mozilla-firefox/?tag=mncol

I want my firefox adress bar to go directly to google when I search something?
Usually when you get firefox it already does that but all of the sudden it started to go to something called Bearshare. I want it to go back to google. Can someone help me with this?
Nagesh answers:
Open about:config in Firefox (if you doing it for the first time, you may have to promise you are going to be careful)
Search for keyword.url from the filter box.
Double click on this entry. It will open a dialog where you can edit the ‘keyword.url’ string.
Type in: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en-GB&q=

AIM, google talk work, but firefox, internet explorer, and other browsers do not. How can i fix this?
Firefox and internet explorer work for about 10-15 minutes, then stop working entirely. They are simply unable to load webpages after that point. However, AIM and google talk continue to function perfectly normally, as if nothing happened. What is the problem and how can i fix it?
Nagesh answers:
Try clearing cookies and temporary internet files from the options in firefox or ie
