I
picked up the "Gmail This" bookmarklet a while ago and use it alot (also see
Lifehacker). But I noticed two things recently when I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.
- The popup window does not focus in the front when activating the bookmarklet.
- I realized I don't like popup windows in the first place! I noticed the new "Email This" Firefox add-on opens a new tab. I wish I had a simple bookmarklet that opened a tab (without installing an extension).
So I realized I ought to modify the javascript in the bookmarklet myself, to get what I want. This version will simply do a document.open() and if "New pages should be opened in: a new tab" is selected in your preferences (which is the default), then Gmail will open in a new tab. This version also includes any selected text in the new message.
Here it is. Drag this bookmarklet -->
Gmail This, to your bookmarks toolbar.
p.s. This was all tested on Firefox. I have no idea if it will work in IE, but it might with IE7.
