Please check to make sure that the window that you are sending an email from is from the webmail and not a customized mailto link.

Thanks. I don't think I was completely clear. It's not a mailto link I'm trying to use; it's the File > Email link... command from the Firefox menu bar. I often find a page online somewhere and want to email it to someone. I'm logged into gmail in another tab. When I create a new email from within gmail itself, the footer is there. When I choose that menu item in FF, the footer is gone.

The difference between Email Link and a regular email address mailto link is that the Email Link function specifies the content of the message body (body=link). In this situation, Gmail is not adding the signature to the message body. I don't know of any workaround for that since this is controlled by scripts on Google's side.

Here is a work around for you. You will need to turn on one of the Gmail Labs called "Canned Responses" and you will need to add your signature to this list. Once enabled this will become available to add to the compose window created from File > Email Link. Direct labs link:

Wow, thanks! This is super cool.
