I use Microsoft Office 10 Outlook (version 14) for my email. In the past , if I did "file, email link" from Firefox, it would open my MS Office Outlook... As of today , "mailto" now wants to use Gmail or Outlook (web version), and I can see no options to use MS Office Outlook.

Help !!

Interesting. Is Outlook the default app for MAILTO links in Windows settings?

Here's how to check that if you don't know:

  1. Open the Windows settings app
  2. Search for "default apps"
  3. Find and click on the Outlook desktop app
  4. Find the MAILTO item
