Is Firefox set as your default browser in WinXP?

Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults

You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page.

If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value.
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.

You can also try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.
