Hmmm, what version of Firefox are you running?  I'm running 1.0 and 
about:config with the "mailto" filter brings up three items, all of which are 
boolean values and all start with "network.protocol-handler".  

Are you using Gnome or KDE?  Mine is KDE 3.3.1.  Don't know if that would make 
a difference for Firefox though.
