This is so GREAT, thanks! Now, can anyone tell me how to actually make the new email open in the current Gmail tab (using tabmixplus) instead of overwriting the tab with the link? I’ve had it work that way in the past, but it’s not now, don’t get it….

Thank you, Martin! I had done the first step (copying that line into the URL bar), but not the second step (Tools>Options>Apps). It works now! Thanks again!

I paste
protocol:javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,”https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,”Gmail”)
into the location, hit enter, and Firefox says that it can’t open this location because protocol(protocol) has no program associated with it.

okay, copy and paste this code into the URL? I do and it says “done”: in the lower left corner of Firefox. I think Vista and Firefox 3 both are getting toooooooooo GUI. Vista is reminding me of Millennium Edition so much that it sux. I want XP back, but my Toshiba would have nightmares due to my on board wifi.

If you’re using the Tab Mix Plus extension and have it set to open typed URLs in a new tab, disable it before following these steps. Otherwise, entering the script above will just open a new (blank) tab with no effect.
