It's always frustrated me when clicking a "mailto" link in a browser, and it tries to open Outlook.  I use GMail for all my email.  Turns out that since Firefox 3.0, there is a fix.

  • 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.

Thanks to the Google System Blog for pointing this out.
