For the three of you that:

• Use Firefox, and
• Use Gmail, and
• Use the Gmail Notifier extension, and
• Host your email through Google Apps for your Domain, and
• Can’t get the extension to connect to Gmail anymore

What you need to do is uninstall the app, then find your profile directory and open up the prefs.js and delete all the lines containing “gm-notifier”. When you re-install the notifier extension, just use “username@yourhost.tld” for the login, and everything works.

And all three of you are welcome.

5. I chose not to install the BonJour service because every other program in Windows does what Bonjour says it will do automatically. The program installed but can’t find my internet connection, so I can’t use the program.
