I could not see what you were trying to show because the item was too small to make out. Here it is.


Type about:preferences#applications<enter> in the address box. In the search box, enter Mail. What does it show?

It is a script on the page that triggers the notification to add this website as a mailto choice. Websites can't check whether you have accepted this and thus can show this every time. You can try to set a cookie allow exception for this domain (origin) in case the website stores this in a cookie to see if that stops it.

I see. So the website triggers it, but I'm surprised Firefox doesn't have an ability to turn off/ignore/disable such a prompt. Because the pop up is with in Firefox itself.

Thanks Ill look into that idea though
