'email link' does not work with exchange or 365 in version 34.0.5 - it keeps sending me to an add account page and then tells me the page is already added

Emailing links directly from firefox using my business email used to be easy but now using windows 8 (and currently firefox v 34.0.5) I keep getting sent to a page requesting that I add my email account (exchange, office 365). However when I do this it just says that this account is already added and does not give me any other options. I have also tried adding Outlook and Exchange active sync and the result is the same. Can anyone advise please? If I open the same pages in internet explorer I can email the link without any issues but firefox is my preferred browser.

Are you using an add on? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../email-link-button/ Once you attach the accounts and check the credentials on your operating system it should work.

However, if you would like to change what happens try these steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links
