Firefox browser on Android is not opening mail apps when clicking Mailto link. Screen goes blank. No action. Firefox laptop browser works fine, opens mail app when Mailto link is clicked. Picture shows "President" highlighted in orange...this means the link was clicked but the browser didnt execute the send email command, so no mail apps opened. Used Chrome on this link and it opened a window with several mail app options.

Hi

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select Settings then scroll down the list, you should see the option to "Open links in apps". What do you currently have that set as?

"Ask before opening"
