Hi,
My computer crashed a few days ago and for some reason all my browser setting have been lost. I've just set gmail as my default for 'mailto' links, but when I click on a mailto link, it opens gmail in the same window - which is a bit of a pain!
Does anyone know how to get gmail mailto: links to open in a separate window? There's definitely a way to do it, as it used to work like for me, that but I can't think how I did it
Thanks x

Is http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links what you're after? Failing that try middle (or ctrl) clicking the mailto links.Conjugating the verb 'to be":

Yeah, I actually found that page when I google but it didn't work - the mailto links open within the same window.
However thanks for the CTRL tip - just tried and it does the job fine so I'll use that until I figure out how to get them to open in a separate window automatically!0 -
