Firefox not offered as default mail application

I'm in the process of switching from Chrome to Firefox. When I go to Default Applications, both are listed under Web, but only Chrome is listed under Mail - no Firefox. So "mailto:" links open Chrome. I thought maybe I should extend /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop but the value of "Categories" there already includes everything that google-chrome.desktop has. Running Ubuntu 20.04.2 and Gnome. Suggestions welcome - thanks.

The mail client by Mozilla is called Thunderbird, Firefox itself is only a browser.

So if you want a Firefox-ish experience, just use Thunderbird.
