Sounds like you have spyware or other malware on board.
Once you have removed the malware and there are still problems please reinstall Firefox in a new empty folder and/or start it up with a new profile.

Maybe you have Internet Explorer set as your default app for mailto: links.  IE, not knowing how to handle mailto: links, then launches the default app for mailto: links, which is IE...

I see in the Windows Internet Properties that you can set the default mail application to Windows Live Mail.  And that opens in IE even with having Firefox as the default browser.  But that doesn't explain the multiple IE windows.  I tested with XP and IE7.
