FF12 Applications using "MAILTO" Not Working

My application is suppose to generate an email and put it in the OUTBOX. Version 12 of firefox stops with a Google search page with the MAILTO info in the search field. FF & TB are defaults

This application has worked since about version 3 of FF.

No other changes have been made to my two PC except loading version 12. Going back to version 11 and I have no problems.


Doing a Google search I see that applications using "MAILTO" option is a big problem with Firefox version 12. See http://boardreader.com/thread/Firefox_and_Email_problem_9rc6X2c9zx.html plus other.

I reload version 11 and I have no problems.

I am using Avast AIS (includes malware/firewall) on one PC & MSN MSE on another (Both windows 7 64) (both have same problem)
