A quick trick to get Firefox to open Gmail in a new tab when you click an email address:
First copy and paste the following into beaver and save as /opt/gmailto.sh
Code Sample | #!/bin/sh firefox -remote "openURL(http://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=`echo $1 | sed 's/mailto://'`,new-tab)"
|
Then open an xterm and type:
chmod 755 /opt/gmailto.sh
Then in Firefox, type about:config in the address bar and find the following line:
network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
Double click it and enter /opt/gmailto.sh
And that's it, just be sure to add opt/gmailto.sh to /opt/.filetool.lst
