[LM_NET] TECH Making a Firebox/Thunderbird email address clickable

[Gordon Walter <gordonwalter@MCHSI.COM>]

Before updating to the newest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, I 
used to be able to click on an email or "contact" link in a Firefox page 
and have it open a T-bird email to the person listed on the webpage.
Now clicking on the link does nothing.
I now have to right-click the link on the Firefox page, save the email 
address, open T-bird, click on "Write", and paste the email address into 
the "To" line.
Obviously, the old method of just clicking on the email address is 
quicker, easier, and preferable.
How do I restore that capability?
