Hello, I have FF installed on 2 Windows XP computers. On one, when I click on //callto hyperlink FF pops the window "Launch application" allowing me to select the app I want to use. On another computer FF does not pops up that window and callto is not associated with any other programs. How can I force FF to ask me which app I want to use? Thanks, Jack

In the Options > Applications window, select the filetype you want to be asked about, and choose "Always ask".
In Options>Applications tab I see 2 columns: Content Type and Action My problem is related to Content Type. I do not know how to add there anything, although I need to add callto. I see mailto but not callto. Jack

In Windows, go to "Start » Run" and type in the callto: URL. Does it launch an application on both computers?
This will test whether the problem exists outside Firefox. It may be that your second computer does not recognize "callto" as being a URL protocol. This is something normally configured by an installation program. It is possible that Netmeeting or Skype (or whatever you have) wasn't properly installed on the second computer.
