Mac OS X System Preferences: In the Internet pane there are designations for
default home page, web browser, mail client, and news client.  IE 5.2 for OS X
(most current IE) and all prior versions pass the mailto: address out to the
program System Preferences is set to for handling by default.  IE also takes its
home page default from System Preferences as well as news: handling application.
 Mozilla should also default to using the system preference for all these, but
could also allow the user to set a selection to use the internal mail/news
client or to bring up a file requestor to pick another application, or an "Ask"
setting which gives the option at each instance in leiu of a set preference.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Mozilla should by default accept all Internet related settings from Mac OS X
System Preferences including default home page and mail / news protocal handling
applications.

Similar to bug #11459 yes, but more broad..  More than just concerning mailto:
link handling, Mozilla should respect system preferences in all cases by default
unless directed otherwise..
