Public bug reported: ==== How to reproduce. 1. Define firefox as default email client (I uninstalled kmail, so now I have "firefox %u") in Settings-->Preferred applications-->Email)
2. Open a webpage with a "mailto" link. I used http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libeio.html (see at the bottom). 3. Click on a "mailto" link. ==== Current behaviour. Firefox quickly opens tens of new empty tabs. I needed to open a local VTY (CTRL-ALT-F1) to run "killall -9 firefox" as killing the application on the "X" button was not working. ==== Expected behaviour. I have no idea. But the above behaviour is not the one we need. I would like to have my GMail webpage opened to compose a message to the intended recipient.
