In Windows 10, how do I restore Firefox/GMail as my mailto: handler when a Windows Update has stopped it from working?

I'm not sure how recently the mailto: link broke so I don't know which update messed it up or I'd undo it.

Firefox still shows GMail as the mail handler. Windows 10 though will not even show Firefox as a choice in the default mail app.

When I click a mailto: link, nothing happens (before the "remember" checkbox was ticked it at least brought up the popup asking what I wanted to do). If I then flick File/Email Link... it opens a new tab with email editor and the proper to: and subject:, but it used to do that automatically without the extra step.


Web searching for default apps and Firefox pretty much all talk about default browser.
