If you give me the commands to create a firejail config file and test opening firefox and clicking on a mailto: link , I can do that on my system. To see if that makes mailto: links work.

I don't know if you are understanding what I mean

What is the terminal output?

Have you setup your FF to open in evolution by default or to ask?

greate, if you want, you can try to findout if it works with only one ignore (is more secure).
