It won't work in KDE - they use different configs and Firefox is a Gnome app.
In my
	~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/%gconf.xml
I have:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <gconf>
	    <entry name="enabled" mtime="1109327532" type="bool" value="true">
	    </entry>
	    <entry name="command" mtime="1109327532" type="string">
		    <stringvalue>term -e mutt %s</stringvalue>
	    </entry>
    </gconf>

Run the command:

	gconf-editor

from a shell prompt. It pops up a GUI. FOllow the desktop/gnome/url-handlers
route and set the one for mailto.

Cheers,
