In Firefox 3.6 a compose window for Evolution (my default mail client) would open. This is still working in Chrome, so I assume it is not a system-level issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click a mailto link. 2. 3. Actual Results: Nothing at all. Expected Results: Email client opens. Test case: <a href="mailto:foo@example.com">Click Me</a>
It appears to be something in my profile - if I move my ~/.mozilla folder out of the way it starts working. I don't know what in particular it might be though.
move the prefs.js out of the way as first try.
Sam, can you please try what Matti suggested in Comment 2? Thanks!
