Current Help page for 'Setting E-mail Client' in Firefox 6 indicates that a 'Mailto' icon should be one of the items under Content Type listing under the Application Tab. This doesn't appear in my Contents. Outlook is the default email program in my Windows 7. So, am asking for next steps re a solution. Thanks, EMc

Searched this issue using Google, and found the same problem and a solution under a Forum Reply to an older version of FF and Windows. It works for FF 7 and Windows 7 too. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/758887?s=mailto+missing&r=2&as=s
