Use Gmail as your default email client in Firefox

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.
