Type "about:config" into FF's address bar.

Search for:

network.protocol-handler.app.mailto

It's a string...  set it to your mail apps name [mine says "thunderbird"]

Below it is:

network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto

Boolean.  set to "true".

All without the quotes, of course.

Wulf Credo:
Respect the elders. Teach the young. Co-operate with the pack.
Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
