Followed the instructions, worked like a charm. (Diversit, you rock!) Frankly, this extension is indispensable, which is why it's so painful when it goes down. Still, I'd much rather deal with its occasional fails than to have it yanked from the FF extensions library.

Twolane: Open the folder path specified by Diversit. If you have to extract the file (i.e., if it's an .xpi file), extract everything to the "...\extensions\" folder where the .xpi file lives. Open "gmServiceGmail.js" in notepad. Change/replace the script lines, as explained by Diversit. Save the file. It should automatically save with the same name to the same place that you opened it from. I don't believe you have to compress everything again, but quit and restart FF to make sure. If for some reason the fix doesn't work, then 1) double check that you didn't introduce a typo when copying/pasting Diversit's code into gmServiceGmail.js, and 2) try compressing everything back into an .xpi file. Then test again. (Hope this helps.)
