In Firefox 11, setting the value of network.protocol-
handler.external.mailto from false to true fixed the problem.
Thanks for leading me down the right path.

I fixed this problem by doing the following:
Open mailto links in thunderbird
open firefox
select edit preferences
select applications
locate mailto
modify mailto to point to: /usr/bin/thunderbird
Thunderbird links won't open in Firefox
open thunderbird
edit, preferences, advanced, config

Oliver's hack is not good. It's awkward, and if you have other mime-
types that should open a specific application, you must merge the
content from the old mimetypes.rdf and the new one.
R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar's way is much easier! Just use File Send
link once, and mailto-links works.

Thank you very much Oliver!!! I was setting it up as always in Firefox.
It darned on me something must have changed for Firefox 3. I came
across your posting. I always copy forward my profile for new releases
so mine was set the previous way from Firefox 2. Mine now works
perfectly!!!

Comment to Robert Persson:
Assuming that your FF installationuses a new profile, all you have to do
is select
File - Send Link
You will see a popup window with yahoo as the mail user agent default
choice (for reasons that escape me). You also have the option to choose
another application. Click

Alright, so this works for me [tm] to fix this problem:
Open firefox and enter about:config into the location bar.
Set the filter to mailto. Locate the network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
line, right-click and select reset.
Close firefox.
Open nautilus/thunar/whatever and go to your firefox

Thanks. This worked. Since I had already removed
network.protocol-handler.app.mailto, editing it back in with thunderbird
as the value, then following on with the rest solved the problem. In the
process I cleaned up many other garbage files in .mozilla that must be

I don't get it. Everytime I post a fix/workaround for a bug here on

Thank you very much Oliver. I did what you said, but it failed the first
time because I have a user.js file as well in my profile, with the line:
user_pref(network.protocol-handler.app.mailto,/usr/bin/thunderbird);
I had to comment that out. After that your method worked like a charm.
