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!
 
Worked a treat first time, thanks.

I wonder why it done that though, because when i installed Mozilla on my last installation it worked fine with mail.app...
 
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!
