If you use Firefox and Gmail and do not like to use the clunky Microsoft Outlook it gets a little bit difficult to mail back when you click on a email address that uses the standard mailto: email protocol.
Firefox lets you customize this features so that you can mail from Firefox using Gmail itself when clicking on the mailto: email protocol. Lifehacker has a pretty good detailed article explaining the procedure to do this.
Just launch Gmail and when it is loaded, paste this code in the address bar:
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail")
Firefox will ask for your permission to add add Gmail as an application. Just click on the Add Application button and you are set.
does not work for me
