When I am browsing a craiglist add and click on an email link to reply, , it is supposed to take me to my default e-mail client and fill in the :mailto address line with the link.

However when I click on the link, Firefox 4.6 starts opening new tabs at a furious rate and keep going uncontrollably. I have to close everything down to regain control.

See Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link, using that article, in the section "change the action for a content type" make sure that the mailto is not set to "Use Firefox"

The article also shows some other things to check.
