    As of the last couple of days, does not seem to work anymore. Right click link works, but mailto does not. Yahoo is not an option in default mailto settings in firefox anymore, which makes this pretty much useless. To be fair, I'm more inclined to believe it's Mozilla's fault rather than the developer's. Firefox has been breaking extensions left and right.

    Thank you for letting me know. The reason the add-on uses the right-click method in the first place was that the built-in Yahoo! mailto was broken (and I didn't have a way to replace it).

    Then the built-in mailto was working for a while, and then a few versions ago, Mozilla stopped including the compose URL for Yahoo! automatically in new installs, which would be relevant to you if you created a new profile or needed to delete your old handlers.json file to resolve a download action problem.

    As far as I know, add-ons can't do anything about this. If I think of something, I'll do an update.

    If you used that mailto frequently, you could consider downloading an older handlers.json file I shared on my website. Either you can use it as a reference to edit your own handlers.json file, or replace it. See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1374655#answer-1498538
