In your profile, find the file user.js.  If it does not exist, create it
as a plain-text file.  Insert the following:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mailto", true);
// to use external E-mail,
// also had to set Windows to use Thunderbird as defaul E-mail client

The semi-colon (;) at the end of the first line is required.  The second
and third lines are merely comments to document why you have done this.

The preference variable network.protocol-handler.external.mailto can
also be set by requesting about:config.  However, you cannot insert
commenbts.

You must also tell Windows that you want Thunderbird as your default
E-mail application.  You appear to be using Windows XP.  From your Start
button, go to [Settings > Control Panel].  On the Control Panel, I
recall there is an icon for Internet.  Somewhere in that item is where
you indicate your default application.
