Using the topic "Setting Firefox's mail client" I don't find mailto in the Content Type list. No help on how to add a Content Type. My PC (Vista 64) knows of mailto and has it assigned to WindowsMail, but it does not show Gmail as a mail application. Any help appreciated. Krystn

Gmail should be one of the default choices for the Mailto setting in Tools > Options > Applications

You can try "Reset Download Actions"
