Thunderbird link for email on Firefox toolbar question
I have been using MS Outlook, and they have a button on their toolbar, that once you click it, it accesses your email through Outlook. I wanted to find it if it is possible to have a Thunderbird link/button on my Firefox toolbar that will allow me to do the same thing - click Thunderbird and my email opens up. Any advice would be appreciated!

Are you sure you want Firefox and Thunderbird and not seamonkey?
Which is a combined Thunderbird and Firefox in what historically was called Mozilla Suite.

Or are you just wanting to email a link from Firefox, in which case you would click the thee dots as the end of the URL (before the scissors) and select email link.
Not "email a link", that is already on the toolbar. I want to be able to access my email (it's a cox.net account) by simply clicking a link that would be on the toolbar (the same way you would do it in MS Office, by clicking the mail envelope that is in the toolbar). Basically, is there a way to directly link my mail in Thunderbird to my Firefox page by simply clicking on a link on the toolbar in Firefox??
Dorothy, your not in Kansas anymore. Your comparing features of a tightly integrated office product with a browser and a mail client form two different groups. But I would have to ask why?
On the bottom of my screen I have a row of icons including Thunderbird, Firefox, chrome, Edge etc. What is the point of having a button in your web browser to launch your mail program when there is one already visible at the bottom on the screen? I simply don't understand why you would want that sort of clutter.
Perhaps you need to ask in a Firefox forum, but I see nothing in their add-ons to do that. Really I think your want seaMonkey as they is a combined Firefox and Thunderbird that does have the icon you want, to open the mail part of the program.
I am not that knowledgeable on computers but this is my problem and how to fix ? I use Firefox as my browser ,overlaid by DucksDucksGo . At the top left hand corner is my tool bar File Edit etc. When browsing I used to be able to go to File and click on Email Link and was automatically sent to my Thunderbird email system with all my addresses . I don't know what happened but now when I go to File and click on Email Link it goes to a new window ,email system that is more like Hotmail.com with no access to my mail address list .I have contacted my ISP and they say it is not their problem and told me to contact you . Word doc attached with what shows up : I can't send as an error keeps coming up for the ADD images. Any idea what my main problem might be ?
Found my problem and solved it by setting Thunderbird as default ,Horray ! back to normal.
