Was... A quick fix for Firefox mailto: issues Now... The other way round problem

[Tim Kellers]

If you backed up up your ~/.thunderbird file before you upgraded (yes, I 
was shocked to see that I actually did back mine up), copy the 
mimeTypes.rdf from your old install to the new install  (its in the 
.thunderbird directory, 2 levels down) and your browser of choice will 
launch on a thunderbird link-click, again.
