Gmail Notifier’s “mailto” feature is not working on Windows XP SP3 + Firefox 3.5.5

by

The main reason I installed Gmail Notifier was so I could use Gmail to send messages when I click on a “mailto” link in my browser. I’ve installed the software and made sure the options are set correctly, but this feature simply doesn’t work.

I still get the same ol’ Outlook “New Mail Message” window when I click a “mailto” link.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I’m using Windows XP SP3, and my default browser is Firefox 3.5.5 (I do have IE8 installed).

Note: this is not a duplicate of FireFox Gmail Notifier Plugin? because my problem is only with the “mailto” feature.

Answer

Google Toolbar provides the mailto: redirection.
Try that first!
