Whenever I hit a mailto: link it sends me to Outlook Express whereas I want to use yahoo for this operation. I've just installed FireFox 29 which doesn't seem to have the option of setting default email, so I can't use the method suggested on yahoo's help page - https://au.help.yahoo.com/kb/toolbar/make-yahoo-mail-firefoxs-default-email-service-sln3288.html?impressions=true The above link is applicable for FireFox 22.

Thank you very much. That worked great for changing mailto option. Unfortunately it didn't work for the case I was stuck on. Thanks again for your help :-)
