In your profile, find the file user.js. If it does not exist, create it
as a plain-text file. Insert the following:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
// to use external E-mail,
// also had to set Windows to use Thunderbird as defaul E-mail client
The semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line is required. The second
and third lines are merely comments to document why you have done this.
The preference variable network.protocol-handler.external.mailto can
also be set by requesting about:config. However, you cannot insert
commenbts.
You must also tell Windows that you want Thunderbird as your default
E-mail application. You appear to be using Windows XP. From your Start
button, go to [Settings > Control Panel]. On the Control Panel, I
recall there is an icon for Internet. Somewhere in that item is where
you indicate your default application.
