The previous behavior of clicking on a mailto link was to open a
Claws Mail compose window, assuming Claws Mail was already running,
which it always is on my computer. If Claws Mail was not running it
would launch it and then open a compose window. Now it opens a new
instance of Claws Mail and two compose windows.

I didn't even know you could run multiple instances of Claws Mail.

I checked the Preferences > Applications tab in Firefox and it still
says to use Claws-Mail; nothing has changed there. 

I tried launching Firefox in safe mode (with all plugins and add-ons
disabled), but the behavior remains the same.
