I been using this plugin for year https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/173 and its stopped working for me like 5 days ago. It seems to be because of maybe the new version of firefox since it still works on my XP machine.
After looking at the comments it seems lots of people have this problem. I tried to go to this guys website but it seems to be gone.
So I am assuming this plugin is dead. I need a new one can anymore recommend me one?
Try WebMail notifier. It has support for both Gmail and Yahoo mail, among others; from the website:
WebMail Notifier checks your webmail accounts and notifies the number of unread emails... Supports: gmail, yahoo, hotmail, daum, naver, empas, nate and more
The Google Toolbar has (among other things) a GMail notifier.
While its a perfectly valid option, its not for everyone as not everyone wants all the other things that come with it. (as a side note: some of those same people [forget|ignore|are unaware of] the fact that you can disable most all of what you don't want/need and that esp. with Fx you can just add the buttons to the features that you want.)
The problem isn't a specific add-on. Something changed on Google's end and all mail notifiers stopped working with GMail. You'll have to wait out a fix.
Did you enable offline Gmail or installed Google Gears? The plugin is still working for me in browsers where I have no google gears enabled but not in the others with google gears enabled AND offline gmail activated.
I'm currently using that add-on with a Google Apps account, and am having no problems. One thing you can do to try to track down the error is look at Gmail Notifier's log file. This should log any errors it's getting, and give a clue as to what may be causing the error. Find the log by right-clicking the GMail icon, then click Preferences, on the new window that appears click the Console button at the bottom.
This should say where its been having problems (whether it can connect to the servers, whether there've been password problems, etc).
