First type
about:config in address bar and after passing the warning message, find gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost entry and change its value to true. Then type

gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false. Now if you open preference, in application tab for mailto handler, you'll have GMAIL as a choice.
