The steps I took to accomplish this were: 1. Browse to "about:config" and search for "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto". Set this to "true". 2. Open Gmail in your current tab in Firefox. If you're running the free version of Gmail (like I am) copy the command below into the address bar and press enter: <code>javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail")</code> If you're using Google Apps (i.e. the corporate version of Gmail) run the command below instead, changing "example.com" to your domain: <code>javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/a/example.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail")</code> 3. Firefox 3 will ask permission to add Gmail as default mailto handler. Click the Add Application button that appears. This worked for me on Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.10. It should also work on OS X, but I haven't personally tested it on this platform. Setting Gmail as your default e-mail client in Firefox 3 is fairly easy.
