I am trying to set the mailto content type in the General --> Application section, but I get no search result when searching for it. Has that content type been removed from Fx100?

(I have the email client I want, Thunderbird, presumably since that is set in Windows to handle email. But I need a screenshot of the Settings page for a support KB article I am translating Change the program used to open email links.

Others have lost the protocol as well. The link below may help (remove the blank space).

What happens when you click a mailto link? For example: mailto:someone@example.com. Does Firefox say it needs a program to open this kind of link, or does it use your system default email client automatically, or something else?

If needed, this might be a better link for the mozillaZine thread:
