Mail is my default email client.

But in Mozilla when I click the email link it always pops up its email app.

How can I bypass this?????

Locate your Mozilla profile directory. For standard FizzillaCFM builds, it's at

/Users/yourhomedir/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/default/(something).slt

For Mach-O builds it's

/Users/yourhomedir/.mozilla/Profiles/default/(somethingelse).slt

Create a text file called user.js if it doesn't already exist.

Add the following line to the file:

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

Yes, there should be UI in the app preferences somewhere to do this, but I don't know if anyone's opened a bug for it yet.

Once you've done this, Mozilla will forward mailto URLs to whatever you've specified as your mail client in System Preferences Internet panel.
 
Why can't they just put in a checkbox in the mozilla prefs?

But thanks for the answer. That's my biggest problem with mozilla right now.
