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

treating "mailto:" as a "content type", but still allowing only the alteration of existing content types. 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?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20used... suggests altering the application associated with the "Send link" option in the File menu.
Thankfully I don't have to deal with the Firefox interface to Gecko too often. (I'm such a browser snob!)
