   I developed a Firefox plug-in that allows you to create keyboard shortcuts on any web
   page. Like the keyboard shortcuts in gmail, only everywhere. [ it's free ]

   I cannot make Yahoo my default email program. It does not show up in any of the places where you choose that. When I click ‘email this file’ to send something from My Pictures, a passport login popup is all I get, and when I sign in to that, I always get a ‘fatal error’ message. Help, please?
