Our Verdict
Use this Firefox add-on to send Web links via email when you’re viewing a Web page.
Nifty, free Firefox add-on Email this! is great for anyone who wants to share Web page URLs with others via email software. When you’re on a Web page whose URL you want to share with someone, click a button, and the add-in launches your default email client–whether it’s a desktop mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook, or Web-based one, such as Gmail–creates a new mail message, and inserts the URL into the body of the message, and the title of the page into the subject line. At that point all you need to do is fill in the recipient’s address, type in any message you want, and send off your email.
You can add multiple icons, depending on how you want to send Web links via email. There are icons for Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Google Apps, and a generic client mail icon that will work with your default mail client. If you’d like you can drag multiple icons, so that you have a choice of which email service to use.
Once setup is done, Email This works like a charm. Soon you’ll be sharing Web pages via email with ease.
