"mail to" application not working

In applications I have my "mail to" set to AOL mail and in my AOL mail settings it's correctly set for AOL mail to be my default mail provider, however, for the last several weeks, or the last few FF versions this function has not worked properly. When I click on a link on some web site it does take me to my AOL email page, but, the email address link does not show in the address bar of my email. I checked this function in Chrome and IE9 and it does work correctly in both of those browsers. It has worked correctly for several years in FF until recently. I can only conclude there must be a bug in FF affecting this function. Can someone help? Thanks

First check the setting for mailto: in the Application section of the Firefox Menu.
