Great little tweak for Gmail/Firefox 3 users...

I'm still not sold on Firefox 3 yet, as it seems to be an even BIGGER resource hog after a while than FF2 was (I thought FF3 was supposed to fix this... idiots.)... however, for those that have upgraded to FF3 and are primarily Gmail users, mailto: links have always sucked. It always tried to take you to your "default" email program (even if you didn't use one). But now with this tweak you can identify Gmail as your default email handler in FF3 so you can now just click on those email links and go straight into Gmail rather than having to go through the pain of coopying and pasting the email address into Gmail yourself. Small price to pay, but still inconvenient... I haven't got all MINUTE, ya know...

Anyway, here's the link to the explanation and tweak...
