I want to set gmail as my default email program in Firefox. When I go to Tools>options>applications, the "mailto" application option does not show in the list. How do I find this?

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

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.
