"GmailDefaultClient" extension is the solution of your problem that will give you the access of the mailto link and directly open the Gmail account as for the mailing issue. During the installation of this add on you will get a dialog prompting for the installation on your own risk as you trust. Click on the OK as you know that what you are installing. I think this will be the best one to use for the mailto . So if you like then install this extension for your browser. That all i have for you right now for more let me know the same.
