A much simpler solution is add the following line to user.js (in your profile dir).

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);

You could also use the "no mess, no fuss" method of about:config and just add the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto option with a value of true.

I believe whatever mail handler you have specified in System Preferences: Internet: Email will then be used by Mozilla.

So both of the hints are right, and everybody's happy. :-)

I can't get this to work.

Adding the on preference "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto" as a boolean (NOT string type) value of "true" causes mailto links to open in Mail.app without even having to relaunch mozilla.

That is of course unless you have changed your default mail application to Entourage or something.

I don't see "user.js" in my profile directory. Please help me find it. Thx.
