The screenshot seems to show a dialog provided by KDE.
Could you elaborate why you think this is an issue with Firefox itself?

1. Other browsers, Chromium and KDE Konqueror, do not show this dialog when click "mailto:" link.
2. In the screenshot, it listed Gmail and Yahoo Mail. They are services only provided by Firefox.
3. When I checked the checkbox, it clearly show "Firefox". See new attachement.

Hi, I think it's not a feature of Firefox. It's a OS feature. I checked in Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Pop up is same for all browser. It won't be same if it's a browser feature.

Note this is a bug in GNU/Linux. Firefox Windows, OS X and GNU/Linux have different ways to process links. So I think result in Windows does not prove the situation in GNU/Linux.

If it is only an OS feature, it should be a part of GNOME or KDE or XFCE, etc. But in various desktop environments, it is the same. Even in different linux distros, from openSUSE to Debian, it is the same.

Hi, I could reproduce the bug on Ubuntu 14.04, FF 41 with Thunderbird. Also I reproduce this bug on Windows 7 64 bit and the Thunderbird icon is not displayed.


Actual result: Thunderbird icon is not displayed. 
Expected result: Thunderbird icon is displayed.

This is undoubtedly a Firefox UI instead of OS UI.
