User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/2002 - Netscape 6.2, Mac OS X

Gecko asks user for confirmation before opening external protocols, unless the
protocols are in a whitelist. network.protocol-handler.external​.* prefs are the
way to go to implement such whitelist. The current situation (0.8.2 RC) sees
Camino asking for confirm. before opening mailto: and news: links, which are
whitelisted by default in FF.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the top of this page
2. Click on tha mail link of the reporter

Actual Results:  
A sheet appears asking for confirmation

Expected Results:  
No sheets for mailto: and news: protocols, as discussed in
