Firefox is set up to use Gmail or Yahoo if you have those accounts. This article describes the steps: Change the program used to open email links.

If you have a Hotmail/Outlook.com account, check out this thread: How to set Hotmail as default mailto simply, no gobbildy-gook.

If you are using a different mail site, some research might be required first. A volunteer here might be able to help, depending on the site.
