Tips & Tricks for Google Apps: Set Gmail as your default email client in Firefox

Scott | Default | Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Did you know?

This is a great tip from The Google Operating System blog

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.

..

Gmail has been added to the list of mail applications and it’s easy to set it as the default email client in Firefox and open all the mailto: links 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.
