mailto app does not work

When I click on an email my open email which is ATT but its yahoo on so my yahoo mail server after it opens the e-mail address that I clicked on does not appear in the TO space when I had this problem last time I posted here, but these measures did not work this time by going to: config change the email to http://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s

Here is a URL which should work, but it must be customized for your particular Yahoo e-mail server:

.mail.Yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=composeus-GT4https:// & verse = %s

The bold part needs to be changed to match your mailbox. Please try this:

(1) select and copy the following line of script

navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=compose&To=%s','Yahoo 2014');

(2) open your Yahoo mail and then in this tab, open the Web Console by using one of the following methods:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + k
  • button '3-bar' menu > developer > Web Console
  • (menu bar) Tools menu > Web Developer > Web Console

A small area should open under the current page.

(3) paste the script next to the circumflex accent (> >) and change the server address to match your specific mail server. It must match or Firefox will block the script.

Then press the Enter key to run the script.

An information bar should open at the top of the page. Click 'Add Application'. You can now close the Web Console using the same methods you used to open it.

If instead of an information bar, the Web Console displays 'Not allowed to save a protocol for mailto handler' then you may need to pass a parameter into the subject: config editor preference. More below the jump.

(4) test, for example: mailto:[email protected]

I see a significant backlog of what seems like 5 seconds or more until Yahoo display new message with this address. I don't know why it takes so long.

Success?

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the mailto and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) if the preference Network.protocol - handler.external.mailto is bolded and "user set" false, double-click it to true.
