Problem with the "Email a link to this page" button

Since updating to ESR v. 91.30 the "Email a link to this page" button no longer uses Outlook [the Office program, not Outlook.com] to mail links. My Win10 settings reflect that Outlook is my default mail program, but my Fx about:preferences does not seem to want to use Outlook for this purpose. The subject button brings up instead a Gmail message. How can I use Outlook, not Gmail?

The built-in Email Link feature uses a setting stored in handlers.json rather than prefs.js (what you can modify through about:config).

You can use the steps in the following article to modify the setting:

Change the program used to open email links

Success?

Thanks, jscher. When I went to that option before, for some reason I didn't see "Use Outlook (default)." I see it now and it work fine.
