Hello, Reinstalled Windows 10 and Outlook 2010 as the default email program. Firefox does not recognize Outlook to send links, and Outlook does not show up as a choice for sending links. Suggestions? Thank you.

I found this, but have no clue... You can give it a try. May the Schartz be with you.

Outlook 2010 uses old MAPI handling for that, so Firefox does not work well with Outlook 2010; for that, Firefox is no longer reliably detected. Use Control Panel → Programs → Office → Change → Repair to initiate an Office 2010 repair. Alternatively, use a mail client that is compatible with Firefox, such as Thunderbird.
