A wonderful series of posts
here and
here show how to add a mailto handler to the newest version of firefox in order to click an "email me" link on a webpage and compose your email in gmail... then shoot it off.
Here are the steps:
- In Firefox’s address bar, copy and paste the following and hit enter:
about:config
- Click “I’ll be careful, I promise!” when the warning appears
- In the “Filter:” field, copy and paste:
gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost
- Double click the found result to change the boolean value from false to true
- In the address bar, copy and paste the following:
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.org/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Google Apps")
- Replace “yourdomain.org” with your own Google Apps hosted domain and hit enter
- Click “Add Application” when it asks you a question
- go to Edit > Preferences > Applications > mailto
- Choose “Use Google Apps”
For those who use schwerzler.com the javascript string I used is this:
- javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","http://mail.google.com/a/schwerzler.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","Schwerzler.com")
This is just flippin awesome!
