I've used this add-on for probably 4 or 5 years now, and it has been incredibly useful. Moreso than any other Gmail add-on I've tried for Firefox. There have always been problems when Google decides to implement random changes to Gmail, and forces a patch of the code or an entire re-write. Which Todd Long (developer of this add-on), has done for us time and time again. For no compensation. This most recent change is probably the longest span that Todd hasn't updated, but luckily we have a patched version that is working for now.

What I find funny is how many people are demanding that Todd come in and fix something that they didn't help create, fund, or have anything to do with. He doesn't have to do anything, and really you should be thanking him for the amount of time you used his coding to make your life easier, at absolutely no cost to you. I would like to see the add-on updated officially by the author as well, as I use it near-constantly. But if he cannot because of time constraints or other obligations, or hell, if he just doesn't feel like it, that's completely reasonable. You are entitled to nothing, and the amount of complaining is absurd. If anyone is truly unhappy about the state of this add-on, I will personally refund you the money you've paid to install it. Oh wait...
