Applies to:

PROBLEM: Want to have Thunderbird open a new email when you click mailto in Firefox?
SOLUTION: First open Firefox and type in about:config
After this, right-click and select New–> String
Name the string as follows:
-
network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
The value of the string should be:

Once you have done this click OK and restart Firefox. There you go! Tunderbird will now start and open and email once you click a mailto link!
