Question How can i stop Mozilla from being the default mail client?

Ok, I'm on my mac and I'm fairly sure that there is an option in Mozilla. Me being the blind bat I am, I have probably read it about twenty times.

Is there a way to make mail.app be my default client when I click an email link on a web page.

Thanks.

Actually, it's not as easy as it should be.

1. Create a text file with the content:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);

2. Save it as "user.js" in the folder:
~/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/Default User/xxxxxxxx.slt/
(the xxxxxxxx will be random characters)

3. Restart Mozilla and... voila! Send mail with your default e-mail client!

Talking THANKS!!!!

Thanks for this post! This was just about theonly thing that was going to keep me from using Mozilla. I'm really starting to hate IE!
