OK - a little history. I wanted to write this extension some time ago, but couldn’t figure out how to make it work. Apparently, someone has spent the time to find out, and now I have to tear apart the code to find out how they did this. Anyway, this allows you to sign and encrypt any text in Firefox using GPG. It rocks. You can use the options dialog to select the private key to use. It also has support for GMail integration using little buttons instead of the right-click menu which is always available. Here’s a preview:

So, I removed evolution today so it would stop trying to configure itself. Then, I went and found a perl script that would send me to a gmail compose page. Here’s the result:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Open about:config
# Set the option "network.protocol-handler.external.mailto" to true
# Create the option "network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" and set it
# to ~/bin/mymailer.pl
use strict ;
my $link = $ARGV[0] ;
$link =~ /mailto:(.*)/ ;
exec "firefox \'http://gmail.google.com/gmail?view=cm&fs=1&tearoff=1&to=$1\'";
Works wonderfully! I’m so happy I found this.
