The share buttons on post and topic do not work with email. I tested with Firefox and Chrome while disabled Adblock. A few month ago, the share button with email didn’t work if Adblock enable. But now it is completely broken.

Hmm, strange, I can’t share by email on Chrome.

I am using Windows 8.1, Chrome latest `Version 43.0.2357.134 m`. I even tested with all extensions disabled.

```plaintext
chrome --disable-extensions

```

Can you check your settings for handlers?

Thank @AmiAthena, my Gmail was set to `ignore`. Change to `use Gmail` solves this problem.

@codinghorror Please close this topic, it is not a bug.

Great, there is also a way to do it in Firefox as well.
