How do I make gmail the default email program for email links in the Mozilla browser?

more options

In previous versions of Mozilla I was able to click an email link , for example, on a craigslist listing and it would automatically open my gmail login page or if I was already logged in it would prompt a new email (compose) with the email field already populated with the email link from which it was prompted. Hard to explain but currently it initiates an Outlook Express session which I don't use or even have configured. How is this process edited to work the way I would like it to? Thanks

Thanks TonyE. That was just about the only thing I didn't try. Super easy! Thanks again
