For me, for some reason, TBV does not associate itself with a mailto:
by setting preferences there in the program. Even so, it does not list
itself in the registry as a recognized mail client. In order for IE6
to open TBV from a mailto: I have to edit and register the URL:MailTo
Protocol file type to open with TBV. Then make sure TBV is accessible
when I use a mailto:.

From what I understand, FF will open whatever the system default mail
client is set at. I haven't used the portable FF to give an opinion
about it's mailto: capabilities. The annoyances about it that you
speak of? Have you tried the "Launchy" extension? It works great for
mailto: control on FF non-portable.

As I would yours and others when we can find time. :)
Maybe having a U3 compatible version of TB too is something to
consider for the future?
