When using the FILE>SEND LINK function, why does the system launch a new window if the email app is already open and active?

I normally have my Yahoo! and Gmail e-mail accounts open and logged into the entire time my system is on. Using your instructions, I have set theFireFox 'mailto' option to USE GMAIL.

Seems Gmail automatically logged me out. When I logged back in and tried again, it still opened a new window, but used my open account to process the e-mail.

Must it always open a new window (which then needs to be closed) in executing this function?
