Could you explain more.

Are you trying to use the outlook for sending emails, the email links from the firefox webpage?

Yes I want outlook to open automatically when I want to forward a link or a webpage, and it does not.

I need to make the outlook program that used to be Hotmail as default not the Microsoft outlook program, is that possible?

Adding Outlook (formally Hotmail) as an e-mail provider involves doing some steps.

Set the gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost pref to true on the about:config page (use its Search bar).

Run the below posted code via the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K)
Paste the code in the command line (>) in the Web Console press the Enter key to run the code.
An info bar should open at the top of the page and you can click "Add Application" to add the new mail provider.
Do not forget to reset the gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost pref to false after you have added that mail provider.

navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','http://mail.live.com/secure/start?action=compose&to=%s','Live Mail');

Now you should see Outlook Mail as a choice for the Mailto action.
