Set Gmail as Default Email Client in Firefox

Last year, Firefox 3 added the option to associate protocols with web applications. A common way to link to mail addresses is using the mailto: protocol, so you'll often find links like security@google.com.To set Gmail as the default email client in Firefox and open all the mailto: links in Gmail, go to Tools > Options, select the Applications tab, search for mail and select "Use Gmail" from the list of actions associated with the mailto protocol.If you want to set Gmail as the default mail client for your computer and not just for Firefox, install Google Talk, Gmail Notifier for Windows or Google Notifier for Mac.
