I should like to use Thunderbird as the mailto application in Firefox. The only options listed for mailto are GMail, Yahoo mail, always ask, and choose application; use default does not appear.

I've solved this. Clicking "use other" in mailto applications, "cancel" when a window opens to select application, then clicking an application other than mailto, and the system default mail client is selected. Seems a bit user unfriendly. I'm running Firefox 24 under Ubuntu 13.04 BTW.
