"contact us" link makes 100's of new tabs open
if i click in a "contact us" link firefox goes mad and opens hundred (643 highest amount i left it to) of tabs till you have to crash out. it then re-opens itself and keeps opening more tabs. Yet this does not happen if using Int.Exp. there it auto opens my Windows Live for me to login. How can i get Firefox to do this? thanks, mau

Check the Mailto application in Tools > Options > Applications
Make sure that it isn't set to the Firefox program.

hi cor-el, i checked and it's set to "use windows live mail (default)" when it starts opening tabs it's really aggressive - when you close it, it just keeps re-opening it's self untill you press "ctrl alt del" to open task mgr and "end task". if you try to shrink the page it just re-opens. i run a scan using malwarebytes once a week and nothing shows up. also run AVG scan but again nothing. ta for any help you can give
You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
