If I click on a mailto link in Firefox, Thunderbird opens up a new

field.
Anyone have an idea where in Chrome I might fix this?

Do all the steps and your troubles should be over...even if you don't
use Gnome. I use Chrome and T'bird and it works fine for me.
YMMV
The steps:
mkdir -p ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto
Directory already exists
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command -t string
'thunderbird %s'
This is already set
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/enabled -t bool true
likewise, already set
sudo sed 's/open_generic "${mailto}"/open_gnome "${mailto}"/' -i
/usr/bin/xdg-email
entry already exists
As I mentioned, it's not that mailto links aren't opening TBird, it's
that an extra mailto: gets put in as part of the adress, but only with
Chrome. Firefox works as expected.
My only suggestion at this point is to run gconf-editor and check
that /desktop/gnome/urlhandlers for mailto is set to
thunderbird %s
There was a bug in xdg-mail sometime ago but that has been fixed for a
while.
It is. It's got to be something to do with Chrome, but I can't find any
setting there.
I'm stuck. Maybe http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/chrome

can help
