It is paper airplane icon then chose envelope for email. Fillin to address and it wont send
That seems to be broken. When I test it with Yahoo mail -- and assuming I'm not blocking it myself -- the message body doesn't contain the URL of the page, and when I start typing there, the gray placeholder text doesn't go away. I think this needs to be revamped by Mozilla or Yahoo or between them.
(When I try with a Gmail account, the space is awkwardly small, but at least Send works.)
The classic "Emai Link" method still works if you are very patient. For about 8-10 seconds it looks like Firefox just loaded your Yahoo Inbox, but then finally a new message compose box should appear in front of your Inbox.

You might also check your current email client setting in Firefox, in case it points to a dead end: Change the program used to open email links.
My email is yahoo and it is set to that in mail to in options. But when I want oto share a page or link it wont send.
I am not trying to put link on social network. I am try to email link I chose email icon Window comes up with sender as my yahoo address but when I enter To address and send it doesn't send.
I'm not sure which feature you are using:
- Share This Page, either
- "paper airplaine" icon
- right-click a blank area of the page > Share this Page
- Email Link, either
- "envelope" icon
- (menu bar) File menu > Email Link
If you are missing either of these icons, you can find them using the Customize feature: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
The Email Link feature definitely uses the mailto setting, and if that is set to Yahoo, the email compose form should come up on the Yahoo mail website. Sometimes changes by Yahoo or other mail sites leads to getting an incomplete form, but once filled in, it should send.
I don't personally know how Share This Page works with Yahoo mail.
