I just upgraded computers to Windows7 with live mail vs. outlook express which I used before and Firefox had an icon for mail that I could click and open outlook express. How do I get a mail icon on firefox for windows live mail? It is set as my default mail client and can receive mail if I open windows explorer.

Firefox hasn't had a built-in button for opening an email client for many years. If you were using the GetMail extension for that feature, all you need to do is change the preference from Outlook Express to Windows Live.
