I want to change my default email to hotmail (currently it goes to Outlook, which I don't use). Firefox instructions say to choose "webmail" in applications, but when I do, the only webmail account that shows up is gmail, which I don't use. The other option in the instructions says to select "use other" and then "browse", but again, when I open the browse file, there is nothing there for hotmail. How do I add hotmail to become the default?

Thanks

Setting Hotmail as the (default) mail provider involves doing some steps.

See:

Set the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to true on the about:config page.
In Firefox 6+ you can no longer run JavaScript code via the location bar.
You can run the JavaScript code in the "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Scratchpad" (Shift + F4).
Paste the full JavaScript code in the code window and run the code via "Execute > Run"
Do not forget to reset the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false after you have added that mail provider.
