Tools -> Options -> General
You should see it then.
Note: I am guessing you are using firefox; if not, something similar should work.

My Mozilla looks closer to Netscape although I don't know what firefox is.
In Tools I don't have an option.

The Mozilla browser is an all in one. It includes Browser+Mail. What has happened is that this package has been broken up. Firefox is the browser and Thunderbird is the Mail Client. Both Firefox and Thunderbird are being actively developed while the all in one package has been somewhat disbanded.
You can find Firefox and Thunderbird here:
