Mozilla Pop-up asks "Add Outlook.live.com as an application for mailto: links"

Is the above popup legit? I ask because, MSFT has for about 26 years refused to fix the mailto: problem, meaning any mailto: link address had to be written down, and then typed out in whatever e-mail application the user had. One could not even copy and paste it.

This happened despite the fact that even under MSDOS 6.22 such links were easily automated and functional. Since it is unbelievable that Microsoft suddenly sees the light (any light), I am asking whether this is some kind of a scam.

Secondly, if it is legit, does this application link to a) The big complicated Outlook, or b) the Outlook.com you can reach via the www.msn.com page, or c) the Outlook Mail App one can find both on Windows 10 desktops or on any "dumb" smart phone?

Third, does this App destroy anything?

Fourth, can this App be removed without destroying anything?

Does anyone know anything about this?

If nobody knows, forward this to Satjan Nutella. Thank You!
