After I upgraded to firefox-24.2.0-1.0.1.el5.centos.i386 (and<br />
thunderbird.i386 0:24.2.0-2.el5.centos), firefox would no longer<br />
handle mailto: URLs (and thunderbird would no longer handle<br />
<a href="http://">http://...</a> [<a href="http://" target="_blank">^</a>]).<br />
<br />
Firefox would also not offer/allow selecting the system default email<br />
for mailto in the Preferences -> Applications settings (I think I saw<br />
it there briefly on initial open, but then it was replaced).<br />
<br />
However, if I explicity use a custom setting to thunderbird, mailto<br />
works. It was working in a self-installed (not CentOS rpm) 17.0.10<br />
ESR (and for thunderbird), and I verified that thunderbird worked when<br />
I downgraded it (yum downgrade thunderbird).
