My Screencast / Blog Post of the Steps below:

Using Web Applications is getting easier every day, but there's generally not quite as convenient as desktop applications. The only two exceptions I've found so far are Remember The Milk for task management and Google Reader for my RSS feeds.
This evening I found a way to bring RTM one step closer to "Native Application" like performance - now I can simply press "CTRL+ALT+R" or click the cute "Cow" icon in my Menubar and immediately add tasks to my RTM account.
Screencast of the Process

1. Download Fluid from fluidapp.com
2. Download the RTM Menubar Icon from Flickr
3. Copy this URL http://m.rememberthemilk.com/add
URL: http://m.rememberthemilk.com/add
Name: RTM Add Task
Location: Applications
Icon: The Icon you downloaded from Flickr
After choosing create, go to the Application menu and choose Preferences, then select the "General" and select the Global Shortcut.
Next, go back to the Application menu and choose "Convert to MenuExtra SSB", choose OK on the prompt, and you're done.

Use this for the URL: https://m.rememberthemilk.com/add

Try opening Safari and logging into RTM, clicking the Remember Me box. Fluid uses Safari's cookies, so that should keep you from seeing the login page in the menubar app.

What do you mean? Fluid is based on Safari. There is no connection between Fluid and Firefox. You need to explicitly navigate to rememberthemilk.com in safari, sign in, and make sure to click the remember me box. That will solve the problem.

That's just because Firefox is set as your default browser.
You're saying you have opened safari, gone to Remember the milk, signed in, with remember me checked, and then it still forces you to login in the menubar app?

I think it has something to do with your settings in fluid. You may have to allow it access to other pages other than the rememberthemilk.com/add url. I don't use Fluid, so I can't help you further.

You need to change your settings. I believe it was the one that restricted browsing to a certain url. I changed that to allow any URL and it now works.
