I'd agree that this bug perhaps does not belong to firefox, but I definitely take issue with your comment that web-mail systems aren't "real" email clients. While they may not be stand-alone applications, they certainly are used by *real* people to send *real* emails -- and launching the wrong application to handle mailto: URLs is definitely incorrect. That said, perhaps it does not belong to firefox but rather to whatever provides the system preference "preferred application" for email. If a wrapper script were written which would launch firefox with an appropriate URL and that were set as the preferred app, I think that would do the trick.
