(Whiteboard: [design-decision-approved]triaged) 

A fresh profile will default the mailto handler.  If an addon installs a mailto protocol handler, the user is not presented with an opportunity to use it.  They have to know to go into Preferences/Applications and change the setting.

If we reset the default handler when the protocol handler is added, then the user would get to choose it upon use.
