even with my "force compatibility" script/add-on running, all of my gmail managers/notifiers have stopped working with the new firefox update. does anyone know of one that still works? i know "gmail manager" has a hack floating around, but is it safe? i don't want my email password getting stolen!

	There is a fix in the comments here for Gmail Manager that worked for me :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

There's no downloading. You just have to fix a couple files. I'll copy it here so you don't have to wade through comments:

The fix Divrsit posted earlier was not enough to get it to work again for me. I had to make 1 more adjustment. Thanks for Divrsit for posting the solution.
This works for Windows 7. If you use a different version of Windows, the files mentioned below are most likely on different locations.
1. Browse to C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\A RANDOM CODE IS HERE.default\extensions\
2. Locate the file {582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}.xpi, rename it to {582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}.zip and extract the files to a temporary location.
3. Open the components folder, look for the file gmServiceGmail.js and use a text editor to modify these 2 lines:
this._loginURL = "https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth";
should be changed to this
this._loginURL = "https://accounts.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth?service=mail";

this._loginURL = "https://www.google.com/a/" + this.domain + "/LoginAction2";
should be changed to this
this._loginURL = "https://accounts.google.com/a/"+ar[1]+"/LoginAction2?service=mail";
4. Save the file, overwrite the existing gmServiceGmail.js
5. Open the file install.rdf with a text editor and change the line:
4.0.*
to
6.0.*
6. Save the file, overwrite the existing install.rdf.
7. Rezip all files you extracted in step 2 and name it {582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}.xpi
8. Replace the old {582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}.xpi for the 1 you just adjusted and restart FireFox
