GMail Firefox Extension

GMailCompose: If you have a GMail account and use Mozilla or Firefox, this extension is right up your alley.

Makes mailto: links load a google mail compose window and adds a GMailCompose link to the context menu.

Apparently Google has created a URL spec for doing just this. Good for them — client integration has always been a weakness of Web-based mail.

The question is, will it work on this copy of Mozilla Spacebadger that I'm running?

Works fine with Mozilla Superbunny.

You can also use the GMail Notifier - which has an option for doing the same thing but also will tell you when you have new mail

Man, there's a joke waiting to happen...

I wrote a GreaseMonkey user script to do something similar (replace mailto links with gmail compose links): http://blog.monstuff.com/archives/images/MailtoComposeInGMail.user.js

Which version of Hairless Beaver? Mine seems to work fine...

I don't have Hairless Beaver. Where can I get it? Are there plugins available for it?

by Jor,   June 11, 2005 5:44 PM  

Yeah plugins and skins. I was using some protection plugin the other day but it really slowed it down....it didn't seem to respond as well either.

It has an odd effect on GlowingPurpleScorpion, a hairy midget with knives jumps out of nowhere on your browser and crashes it. Hmmm . . . maybe I should switch to FireFox.
