Firefox crashes when I click on a "mailto:" URL if no string
"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" is specified in "about:config".
If I add this string with value "kmailservice" everything works fine.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you have no string "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" in
"about:config"
2. click on any "mailto:" URL 


Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes

Expected Results:  
Firefox should not crash, but show a message that no email client is specified
and tell the user how to fix this.
