（you haven't provide a place to deliver bug reports so I have to report it here. (Maybe this is the right place to report bug?:(） When I write a email in gmail webpage, I click the mailvelope extension button and click the "add" button . The a webpage about maillist (chrome-extension://kajibbejlbohfaggdiogboambcijhkke/app/app.html#watchList) is open. And then? Should I choose one of the email providers? I clicked "mail.google.com" adn clicked "OK" but nothing happened next. So I don't know what to do. Would you please help me solving this problem?

La uso regularmente. ¡También funciona en Firefox! Ojalá la añadan pronto en los "Complementos de Firefox". Ahora mismo debes dirigirte a su web para instalarte la extensión en Firefox.
