On my Firefox 2 I had an add-on ICON (an image with down arrow) on my address bar that was available that linked to and launched the default email program (outlook express) from the address bar.

Unbelievably now I can't find ANYTHING that will do this when I search for Firefox add-ons that have anything to do with email (this is the same icon that explorer or any other browser has available to launch the OS default email application (in my case Outlook Express).

Please, can anyone tell me WHERE I CAN FIND THIS VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC ADD-ON?

Was it called GetMail or GetMail Plus? Maybe: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html

That was it, THANKS SO MUCH. I see now that it was NOT a add-on within Firefox but of course is compatible and can be added to Firefox (an other browsers) which is why I could not find it in Firefox apparently.

It's odd to me that there are NOT any add-ons in Firefox that DO THIS since it is a common part of most browsers.

Any thanks again, you've made my day or should I say evening.
