Firefox mailto

I think this may be a new config options, but I remember this being painful to get mailto links in web pages working in Firefox, but now its so simple.

  1. Open
    about:config
    in firefox
  2. Right click and go
     New -> String
  3. Paste in
    network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
  4. Paste in the value as your email lcient, for kmail put in
    /usr/bin/kmailservice
    and it will use the KDE set defaul email cleint setting set in the KDE Default Applications settings.
  5. done!
