I had a few problems, it wouldn't recognise gmail as the default mailto link , but got that fixed, also realised that I don't need the google toolbar any more as you now have the Awesome bar or what ever they call it now, very clever.

PS Don't miss out step 3, I did and was wondering why it didn't work.
Love the bit when Firefox says here be dragons!

Refers to the new features of the locations bar (the one with the web link for the page you are viewing in).Location bar & auto-complete: type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from your history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results and find that page you're looking for. Results are returned according to their frecency (a combination of frequency and recency of visits to that page) ensuring that you're seeing the most relevant matches. An adaptive learning algorithm further tunes the results to your patterns!
RC3 is now out. Although, there is only any difference in the build compared to RC2 if you are on a Mac.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
