I got into "<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:config">about:config</a> ok but can't find any trace of <pre wrap="">network.protocol-handler.app.mailto Where is it? 2. I found the line "network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto" and it is set to "false" do I just select the line with the mouse LC and select toggle? or 3 below. 3. Do I have to enter a text editor and if so how. Clark. </pre> </body> </html>
