You need to set the working directory to the Firefox program directory

Aha!!! Thank you...never realized that the PMMail setting had put a '.' in that field...no wonder the DLL was not being found...!!!

UPDATE => I get a chance to try this out...the program settings updated as per my previous post, but result is still the same...so I suspect something else is going on. For what's it worth, I have a fairly old version of PMMail, like 2.00.15?

Dave Yeo:
That's strange, I'm pretty sure that's how I had it set up using PMMail 1.96 and Mozilla.

Doug Bissett:
The easy way is to use RUN! to start Firefox, and call that from PMMail (READ the RUN! docs). Otherwise, you may need to use a startup script for Firefox. Using RUN! (always, for the Mozilla group of programs) looks after a number of other problems too.
