See the attached .gif in the past could I use a "mailto:" link without problems, I used this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/outlook-com-mailto/ But even, when I deactivate it, does it NOT work. As you can see in the gif, the website opens and the mail does not load. usually it should create a new empty email ready to send. I tested it with gmail (because I have a gmail accunt through google) and that worked.

So there is some problem with outlook, this does happen on every page, tested also with disabled adblocker (ublock).

(what a nice forum, I can't edit the post? Oh come on...) Well then: I tested also the other button from outlook in the list and that gave the same result. both outlook versions are a problem. Oh wow, I can edit my Reply but not the first post xD... this must be the "future".

I disabled ALL addons (I got really a lot, but they are good and needed^^). And Nope, it does not solve the problem, so it's not a addon who is causing the problem.

Addon issues isn't a Firefox browser user to resolve but to contact the Addon developer about this Addon problems. Usually the mailto is controlled by the O/S aka Windows O/S has this feature as well so you should check that to see if that is set to the right email service your using so it can correctly do mailto options as well.

WHAT? Did you not read my reply?... I turned ALL addons off and the problem does excist, this is NOT a ADDOn problem, come on, read all! The "mailto" function is built into the firefox browser.

You can find "Edit this question" under the "Question Tools" menu in the sidebar (you may have to scroll to the top). For a reply, "Edit this post" is in the three-dot menu next to a reply.
