In normal usage, gmail manager is red on your firefox border unless you
have mail, then it is blue :-)

That's weird. I have v3.5.2 (current), and Gmail manager works great.
Perhaps one of your other add-ons caused the "not supported" dialog box.
BUT several other add-ons are not up to supporting the current version
of Firefox yet. I myself have seven add-ons that are still not working
as the software writers for them have not updated their add-ons to work
with the latest version of Firefox yet. Probably a good thin you
declined the firefox upgrade for that very reason. Could be the add-ons
you have already installed (or some of them) might break. No rush to
upgrade anyway, I can't see a huge difference from the older versions. I
myself just updated cause I am a little bit a geek, and I can always fix
99% of what I break :-)
I hope you enjoy for gmail manager upgrade from Notifier. I know I
consider it a most excellent facilitator for reading in a timely manner
all the mail to my four different accounts on gmail. In fact, I leave my
outlook down most of the time, and just bring it up once or twice a day
since I have most mail going to the gmail accounts anyway. And as I
mentioned before, having those accounts are great from a permanent email
account perspective. If I change vendors, or am traveling, I still have
an uninterrupted source for mail, and I don't have to update everyone in
my address book whenever I make changes.

Bob
