Looks like a few days ago GMail Notifier for Firefox 3.5.3 stopped working in terms of auto login. The author has made a patch available and is still working on the 0.6 edition (release date not yet available).

You can download the patch from here:

Now that Firefox 3 has an official launch date of June 17th people all around the world are getting in line to download the newest edition of the Mozilla browser. A campaign has been launched by SpreadFireFox.com to set a Guiness World Record for the most downloaded software in 24 hours. Based on the turnout so far I think they could actually succeed.

I’ve been playing with Firefox 3 Release Candidates for a while and they are definately faster than Firefox 2 in loading web sites. However, I have not been able to do a true scientific comparison due to the fact that I have almost 20 plugins installed in Firefox 2 – over half of which are not yet supported in Firefox 3.
