I haven't configured Firefox at all in this regard, so far as I
remember. In particular, it all used to work as I would expect with the
compose window appearing on top, but now it doesn't but with no changes
on my part so far as I know. So I'm trying to discover why the
behaviour has changed.

So as far as I know, it isn't anything I've done at all but instead is
something that some developer has done somewhere. My problem is which
developer?

As to why I haven't configured firefox to use xdg-email as the mailto
program, the answer is that I haven't configured firefox to use any
program. It's using whatever is the default, which in my case is claws.
And I don't really want to have to use a specific configuration for
something that should work out of the box.

As to why I'm asking here, it's because claws is one piece of the
puzzle. I started by asking on the opensuse list but got no useful
response, so I thought I'd try here. It seems to me there are often
well-informed people on this list.

Cheers, Dave
