Hey, I found some part of that to come up short in my firefox setup.

The "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" string value didn't exist in my 
about:config. 

If you want kmail integration you may have to go to about:config and right 
click in the window, and select "new" then (or ->) "String"
The next box that comes up paste in "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" in 
the second box, which will be the value put in "kmail" and then the kmail 
integration will work.

I'm not sure if the latest Google Toolbar or the earlier version took that 
setting out or what, but it wasn't there for me.  So, I thought I would 
through this in.
