Unfortunately, to do this, gmail must not be open in another tab or another window. It's a bit inconvenient, as I would like the ability to send someone something directly from a website, as mozilla advertises, but I would also like to be able to quickly see my emails. The get last email command isn't very helpful, as it only shows one email, and it shows just its preview as a notification, rather than all of it. If anyone could give me an idea as to how to get this to work seamlessly, it would be much appreciated. Edit–

For instance, I highlight something and type email this to [friend]. When I hit enter, ubiquity closes, but the gmail compose window does not open. I am logged in to gmail, and it is open in another tab, and ubiquity seems to recognize what I want it to do (it says something to the effect of send an email to [friend] with content [highlighted text].) However, it doesn't work. Help please! Hi,

Thanks! While I am here, though, there's still a Firefox addon that counts words for you, and I prefer it to the Ubiquity command. It's <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4718" rel="nofollow">Word Count Plus</a>. It now comes with keyword shortcuts, even.
