Couple of weeks ago I noticed it launches my firefox (I use Opera for all other tasks), opens a "create a new message" page, but there's no address typed in.
Today I tried again. It launches firefox, connects to gmail but displays an empty page. Here's it's source (in case somebody would want that...) :
<title>Gmail</title><link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Gmail Atom Feed" href="https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom" /><noscript><font face=arial>JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then <a href=/gmail>try again</a>.</font></noscript><script>

Does exactly the same thing in IE.
Yes, I have gmail notifier and yes, I have "use gmail for internet mailto: links" option checked (should be pretty obvious, tho).
Looks like google made a small change to the compose url:
[gmail.google.com...]
They basically just changed the "tearoff" variable to "tf". Change that in WebMailCompose and that should fix it.
