Are you an avid Gmail user? Have you ever wished you could click on those email address links in Firefox without having to worry about Outlook or Outlook Express opening up?
Well, in Firefox 3 you can solve this problem. Gmail has been added to the list of mail apps and it’s quite simple to set it as the default email client in Firefox and open all mailto: links directly in Gmail…without installing extensions!
* go to Tools > Options
* select the Applications tab
* search for mail
* select Use Gmail from the list of actions associated with the mailto protocol
* click OK to save the settings.
Doesn’t get much easier than that!
Oh, and if you want to set Gmail as the default mail client for your entire computer (instead of just for Firefox), install Google Talk, Gmail Notifier for Windows or Google Notifier for Mac.
