Hmm, this is a good question. So the Help button eventually leads you

The right-click menu on a mailto has Copy Email Address, Properties and nothing else.
I wonder what happens on this Firefox-without-any-Applications-configured when you attempt to follow a mailto: link in a document? Maybe it prompts you for a handler for the content type? [...]
Nope, nothing happens. Send Link... does nothing either. If it prompted me, I'd've probably fixed it by now. It doesn't say anything to xsession-errors either. Very strange!
Thankfully I don't have to deal with the Firefox interface to Gecko too often. (I'm such a browser snob!)
Yes, it's not great, but it's what clients use and I can tolerate it. I'd quite cheerfully go hacking prefs.js if I had some idea what to do!
Thanks anyway,
