I used to be able to right-click on a webpage, and email the page. Then, something changed, and when I right-clicked, that option was not immediately available. Instead, I had to right-click, hover over a main category that then offered me two options, once of which was emailing the webpage through Yahoo. When I did that, the email would fill with the link, but a lot of junk about Yahoo, too.

Now, when I right-click just two weeks later, option is completely gone. So, now, I cannot email a webpage just be right-clicking. I have to copy the link, open an email, and paste the link. What happened, and can I get back?

hello cera78, mozilla does clean up its user interface from time to time. user interface studies have shown that this context menu entry is only used by <1% of the users.

if you've liked the functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/
