How do I make Yahoo email default when I use Mozilla Firefox browser?

I am using the Mozilla Firefox browser and every time I click on an email link it brings up gmail. I want it to bring up Yahoo because that's the email carrier I use. I changed the default email to Yahoo within Yahoo, but that didn't help. What else should I do? How do I make Yahoo email default when I use Mozilla Firefox browser?
To setup yahoo email as your default mail using Firefox 3 (Yahoo now recommend you use this browser) and it will work with Vista.

* Download and install firefox 3 http://downloads.yahoo.com/?p=win

* After installation and when you have Firefox 3 up and running, click ';tools';, then ';options';.

* In the options window that pops up, click the applications tab.

* Scroll down to “mailto” and change to “use yahoo mail”

* Finally click “OK”.

Wow. Thanks. I had a pro come out to check on something else and I asked him to reset the default, but even he couldn't figure this out. Thanks a million. It has been over a year now that I have been working around this with Outlook getting in the way.
