Gmail Notifier extension for Firefox

June 27, 2004

Doron has written a Gmail Notifier extension for Firefox. It adds a button to your toolbar that displays the number of unread emails you have in your Gmail account. Like how I have 0 new emails (I’m a lonely, lonely guy) in the screenshot below.

Neat work, and this is still early stages for Gmail Notifier. Doron has promised Gmail/Mozilla integration and this (Gmail Notifier) seems to be part of that exciting project. Check back with Doron for more later - this should lead to something really neat.

Gmail Notifier for Firefox
This is quite cool - a Gmail notifier for Firefox. It sits on your toolbar and displays how many unread messages are in your Gmail inbox.

Now that is cool! Thanks for the heads up!

Very cool extension. Doron rocks.
One thing that it is missing and you might find usefull I have made an extension for, called GMailCompose. It basically brings up a gmail compose window for mailto: links and text email addresses, suprisingly usefull. Just though I’d let you know for even more gmail fun :)

Thanks for always keeping us informed on the latest and greates from Firefox, very much appreciated (expcially the screenshots you post about new features).

Great idea, but I can’t get it to work. It won’t log into my account even though the username and password are correct. I finally gave up and ininstalled it, and I’m surprised to see that it works for other people.

Yup I just started to have this problem - noticed it yesterday. Otherwise it was working beautifully before that. I think Google may have changed something that has caused the borkage.
