When I click on a Mailto link, I go to my online mail program (Yahoo Mail) and one email message tab will be created. Then a message box will open in Yahoo Mail saying "Please wait a moment you message is being processed.". I click "OK" and then a second message message tab opens in Yahoo Mial.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

Hey Chris - thank you for reading the post. Opened Firefox in Safe Mode and it still happens.

Your Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. Try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles

Odd.

Before taking your last suggest I "tested" to see if the problem still existed and it has gone away.

I've not changed any settings.

(Can't remember if the problem is on my work computer or home computer. I'll test the home computer later today.)
