Firefox: Deleted YahooMail from MailTo

Hello

I'm currently using Firefox (recently updated) and accidentally deleted Yahoo Mail from the "mail to" default option in settings (while trying to solve another issue).

Any ideas how I get it back, I've no clue. I've tried googling the answer with no success.

Thank you.

    Yahoo Mail isn't an option in the drop down "mailto" box any longer. That's my problem, how do I get it there to choose it as an option.

    Sorry for not explaining very well.

    Thank you. I'm using Windows 7 and can't see how to do it. When I click "set your default programs" Yahoo is not listed there, I guess cos it's not a programme. Aargh!

    look here perhaps http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2820341
    goto the yahoo mail site and it should prompt you to add it as a handler

    Thank you. I can't get that to work either. I've managed a work around by adding the Yahoo mail URL to desktop and adding that in the mailto, not perfect but it will do for now.

    Any other suggestions more than welcome, thank you for all your contributions so far.
