Many web pages provide an email icon to send an article to a non subscriber. When I try to do this Firefox wants me to open New Outlook. I use Classic Outlook and don't want to use the new version. How do I fix this?

Hello,

You can fix this by making the emails go to to classic outlook app.

To do so, do this : Go to settings (or win+ I) Go to apps>default apps, search mailto and select it.then in the list, select Classic outlook as the standard mail app.

In classic outlook, click file>options>advanced, then under link handling, make sure that Classic outlook is set as the default.

If Firefox still requires new outlook prompt, you can do this : go to Menu>settings>General>applications, then search for mailto, then select the classic outlook.
