I have been attempting to find a way to migrate from Mozilla to Firefox and Thunderbird. So far, everything has gone pretty well EXCEPT that when I wanted to email a web page from within Firefox, that option was not available. The only choice is to "Send Link". That's acceptable and definitely more friendly for those who are still using dialup connections but the deal breaker for me is that it wants to use Evolution and I don't/won't. I have looked in the prefs.js file, in about:config
The settings can be changed in about:config. I just filtered for "mailto" and changed the two references from evolution to thunderbird.

Hmmm, what version of Firefox are you running? I'm running 1.0 and about:config with the "mailto" filter brings up three items, all of which are boolean values and all start with "network.protocol-handler".
Are you using Gnome or KDE? Mine is KDE 3.3.1. Don't know if that would make a difference for Firefox though.
I'm using xfce at the moment, although I used Gnome until recently. I don't think the environment is relevant. Here are the three settings:
network.protocol-handler.app.mailto user set string /usr/bin/thunderbird
mozex.command.mailer user set string thunderbird mailto:%A?Subject%S&Cc=%C&body=%B
Also,
mozex.intercept.mailto user set true
Since I had previously set these up for evolution, they were already in user set status.
