Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
In Firefox, when an user click on a webpage link pointing to a "mailto:"; URL, the browser is supposed to launch a mail composing application (i.e. Thunderbird, Evolution). On Ubuntu Lucid, I found that clicking on a link of such kind has no effect. I think this is a problem related to the Firefox AppArmor profile (/ect/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox) shipping with the Firefox package (3.6.10+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1); in particular, I think I found a typo on the file /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-email, that get included in /ect/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox. In fact the line: /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird Ux, should read /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.8/thunderbird Ux, This modification solved the problem in my case.
