So happy I found this add-on, works well.
Is it not possible for the new email to open in a new tab though? I'm using it from a link in Google Sheets, and it keeps closing the Sheets-document.. Can't seem to find the option for new tab anywhere..
EDIT: The creator just made it happen, changed my review to 5 stars! Great!

Thanks for the feedback! I've released a new version of the extension (version 2.1) that will now open the links in a new tab. It should be available on the Mozilla Addons Website version soon. Enjoy!

    Great idea but has only worked once so far so maybe Microsoft is blocking it? Nice when it worked!

    Great add-on. So happy to have found this after Firefox removed my original mail to accounts! Anyone know why FF removed original mail to accounts? Thanks again for this great add-on.

    Well it uses my emailprogramm, but in a new tab, it does not jump to my already open (and pinned) mailbox, it makes a new "mail only" tab. would be nice when I could jump into my already open mailbox. But well, maybe for just writing a mail is it okay. But would be nice when it use my "main Mailbox" tab.
    Thanks to the dev for your answer, sad, that it didnt works :(

    Update: I am happy that it work like this way^^.... its much better this way :D

    That was originally the way that I wanted the add-on to work, but there's no way to allow the add-on to make a new email within the regular Outlook inbox. Instead, I had to use Outlook's special page to send emails. If something changes to the way the Outlook website works, I'd love to change the way the add-on works in the future.

    A new setting has been added to the latest version of the add-on that now allows you to open links in a new window :)

    Loved this add-on. It has made it easy to set Outlook Web as default mailto handler in Firefox.

    P.S. Don't know why Firefox is showing this warning "This is not a Recommended Extension. Make sure you trust it before installing." even though the add-on doesn't seems to be harmful in nature.

    Glad to hear that you like the add-on!

    To clarify about the warning that you see, the majority of the add-ons on this platform have that warning. That's because Mozilla only monitors a select number of add-ons on their platform. These are what they label "recommended extensions". Because this add-on is not part of Recommended Extension Program, it's not monitored by Mozilla, so this "use at your own risk" style message is displayed. Add-ons with this warning are not necessarily harmful. In fact, the majority (like mine) are not. More information at: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/recommended-extensions-program

    Thanks for the extension. This is something I've been looking for for a long time. Unfortunately, the extension doesn't seem to work properly for me. It brings up my Outlook.com home page, but not the composer window. Wonder what's causing this? Windows 7 64bit, Firefox 70.0.1.

    Edit: Never mind. Tried again after a restart of the browser. Now everything seems working as intended. Have changed my rating to five star

    Works well but keeps requesting that I sign back in each time I click on a mailto link. Not too sure if its because I use outlook.office.com rather then outlook.live.com.

    You may be happy to know that I added support for outlook.office.com in version 2.0 of the extension.
