This means that when you click on an email address that uses the standard <CODE>mailto:</CODE> email protocol, Firefox 3 itself can launch Gmail instead of a desktop app. By default, the Firefox RC 1 only comes with Yahoo Mail as a possible <CODE>mailto:</CODE> link handler, which leaves Gmail users out in the cold—unless you know how to set it up by hand. Here's how to configure Firefox 3 to use Gmail as your default <CODE>mailto:</CODE> application handler.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/lifehacker.com/img/18C96A05-A474-4342-9E5A-773E25A06EB1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links"><P>Now, if you click a <CODE>mailto:</CODE> link—try the tips link on Lifehacker's sidebar—Firefox 3 will ask which application you want to use.
