Google’s Gmail tweak broke some of the more popular features of my Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension this week, including Folders4Gmail and Hide Spam Count. Thanks to the quick work of Arend v. Reinersdorff, the problems have been fixed. More »
Google made a change that recently broke Firefox extension Better Gmail 2′s saucy favicon alert feature, but as of today Mozilla has approved the fix, so go grab the latest to get Better Gmail back up and running, just how you like it. [Mozilla Add-ons]
Now that the Firefox 3.6 beta is available for download (portable version is here), it’s time to start updating the Better Firefox extensions. The most popular ones, Better Gmail 2 and Better GReader, are already 3.6-compatible; the rest will come in the next few weeks. As always, join the Google Group to ask questions or make comments about the Better Firefox extensions.
Just pushed the latest version of the Better Gmail 2 Firefox add-on I maintain to Mozilla Add-ons, now with new options for favicon alerts and attachment icons. Here are full details and the changelog. [Smarterware]
Firefox only: Google’s recent improvements to Gmail’s labels broke one of Better Gmail 2‘s most-loved features: Folders4Gmail. Folders4Gmail displays labels with slashes in them as subfolders of a parent label, and I must say, I’ve missed it a whole lot this week. More »
Windows only: Better Gmail for Google Chrome is a compilation of user scripts designed to enhance your Gmail experience—and to make it easy, we’ve tested and bundled them together in one easy download.
Google rolled out some changes to the HTML that runs Gmail in the last few days that rendered several of Better Gmail 2‘s features completely busted. (Yes, that’s the technical term). So I just posted a quick fix-it version 0.7.3.1, which includes changes from the very speedy and helpful Arend von Reinersdorff. (Arend is responsible for Better Gmail 2′s most popular features, Folders4Gmail and Hide Spam Count, and I know-because users flip out the moment they stop working. Thanks, Arend.) Sadly I had to remove several scripts which have not yet been updated to work with Gmail’s new markup, namely Add Row Highlights, Hide Chat, and Hide Invites Box. If you’re a CSS jockey willing to take a look at getting those styles working again, many people would be very grateful. Post a comment if you do. In the meantime, download the new fix-it version 0.7.3.1 from Better Gmail 2′s homepage or just by using the “Find Updates” button on Firefox’s Add-on manager. Thanks for your patience with the broken features the last couple of days.
