Is "mailto" support broken?

Since installing FF 1.0.1, mailto: links don't seem to
work anymore.
E.g.
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/a_href_mail.html
with firefox, there's no link displayed, just the text;
with Moz 1.8b2-0222, it works just fine. (Also works with Opera 8.0B2)

Is it just me?

 

Works OK for me. I just installed 1.01 a couple of days ago.
I use Eudora for email, if that makes any difference. It came right up in
"compose" mode with the "" prefilled.

 

It would appear to be just you, working fine here in FF 1.0.1

What exactly do you see. The word here is not in blue, and underlined as
a link?

That's correct: "here" is not blue/underlined, the mouse cursor doesn't
react when mousing over "here" and clicking it does nothing.
I just reinstalled FF1.0.1 into an empty directory, and I also
uninstalled the "launchy" extension...no joy. That is, same results.

 

I have Launchy, wouldn't be without it, so that's not the problem/\.

Have you started FF in Safe Mode, to test it. Safe Mode will disable
all your extensions, and start in the default theme. If it works in
Safe Mode, that may help us isolate the problem.

You seem to use windows.
Did you reg clean your system lately? Then this could help: go to
control panel --> internet options --> programs and look if 'your'
e-mail program is specified. if so, choose another, click o.k. then
reopen the internet options and do all the same, but chose 'your' e-mail
program. It should work now.

Excellent suggestion! Alas, it made no difference. :-/

But starting with the profilemanager and creating a new one did.
Thus, the day I've been dreading has arrived: my collection of
extensions, tricks, modifications, etc, has been built up since
the days of Phoenix 0.2, through many daily builds, etc, etc.
I guess it's time to start afresh. *sigh*

I may make a few more passes at what's going wrong:
does firefox have a trace facility? or an interactive
startup ? Something to allow me to watch how it initializes?

well, it sounds a bit disturbing, but this time it wasn't meant to be
negative. I use it either.

and if not: choose 'your' e-mail client and it should work correct
immediately. just 2b complete.
