- Open Gmail in Firefox.
- In the tab where Gmail is loaded, copy and paste the following snippet of JavaScript into your address bar:javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail")
If you are a Google Apps user, use this code instead, but replace example.com with your domain name:javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto","https://mail.google.com/a/example.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s","GMail") - Firefox 3 will ask permission to add Gmail as default mailto handler. Click the Add Application button, as shown.

Ready to set up Gmail? Roll up those sleeves.
Update, 6/18/08: Thanks to a great tip from a reader Andrew, the instructions above have been shortened considerably. Thanks, Andrew!
Now, if you click a
mailto:link—try the tips link on Lifehacker's sidebar—Firefox 3 will ask which application you want to use. Choose Gmail, and select "Remember my choice for mailto links" to set the preference permanently.
