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. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/06/set-gmail-as-default-email-client.html
