How is email formed?

November 5, 2008 7:50 AM

Is there a Firefox addon (other than StumbleUpon) that will allow me to email a link to whatever I'm currently viewing to someone else, without opening an external email program?

In the SU toolbar, there is a button labeled "Send to..." that lets you forward a link to the current page/image/whatever to any email address with two clicks, no external email program needed. My wife does not have a StumbleUpon account and does not want one, and when I forwarded her a link yesterday, StumbleUpon took over and redirected the link to another random page with some content that made her cry. =( So I will no longer be using the SU toolbar for this purpose.

Is there another addon out there that will let me do the same thing or something close to it? I'm mainly looking for ease of use; i.e. no signup for yet another goofy social network, just click click and done. Thanks so much!

The Firefox addon Foxmarks will allow you to email a bookmarks folder but not individual URLs or bookmarks, without opening an email app. This is so cool in every other way as well (being able to share bookmarks between PCs, having your bookmarks available anywhere in the world) that I would heartily recommend this addon!
