Q.H. I am not using Gnome and did not find any KDE appropriate control. I did as you suggested in foxfire. I got the following: network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto false network.protocol-handler.external.mailto true network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto false There was no entry for "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" (that is probably the problem). A right click on this page produces a menu to add (string, boolean...). I tried to add the missing property, but nothing was added.
