Hi, I've been through the known issues and the bugs forum to see if there's any obvious reason but with version 1.11.0.6 (or 5 for that matter) I just cannot make it work at all. I've removed all of my non-critical extensions, installed and uninstalled but it just doesnt work. I'm running Firefox 3.0.1 on XP with the following extensions: Google Notebook, Googlepedia, Hyperwords and Tempomail. Also, I do have several send as email accounts set up correctly so I don't think that's a problem. Any clues much appreciated, I'm just going to try the extensions.cache thing to see if it's an installation problem. Chris... |

HI again,
Just tried the removing extensions.cache, etc... files trick (uninstall bc add-on, restart, delete files, restart, install bc add-on, restart) but to no avail. I'm still without html signatures.

Chris, sorry you're having trouble with this. Can you give me the following information to help me troubleshoot with you?
If I have time, I may also install the plugins you mentioned above to see if any conflict. Could you provide me with a link to each of them? |

I'm having the exact same issue. I was beginning to think I was the only one! I have version 1.10 installed on my desktop computer and it's working great. I'm not going to upgrade it until I figure out why the newer versions aren't working. Last edited Aug. 05, 2008 - 5:03pm by Will Whitworth

I am also having trouble. it worked fairly well in Better GMail2 but then Better GMail2 dropped it saying it was a stand alone add-on now. Hasn't worked since.

There are literally 3 to 4 thousand people successfully using this add-on each day. If you are having trouble, please see the following:
Also try completely clearing your cache and restarting Firefox. If you are using a right-to-left language in Gmail (such as Hebrew) please see the known bugs. If your Gmail is set to a language other than English and you do not have any "send as" addresses set up, I may not have put in a fix for your language yet. When you have no other addresses set up, the add-on looks for a button with the word "Send" or its equivalent in another language. I have put in as many translations of "Send" as possible, but I may have missed your. Please send me the exact word for "Send" as it appears on the send button in your language so that I can include it in the latest version. If this still does not help, please provide me with specific information beyond "it doesn't work" as follows:

Hi Jerome, Thanks for your reply, apologies for not getting back sooner I've been away for the last week. For the record, it's really great plug-in that I'm really missing and I really appreciate the effort it takes to make these things work =) My Firefox locale is set to en-gb, gmail is set to en-us, however, to get the new interface. I'm not using google apps for a domain. Here are the links you ask for: Googlepedia: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2517 Tempomail: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3883 Google Notebook: http://www.google.com/notebook/download Hyperwords: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1941
Addon Version: 1.11.0.6 Firefox Version: 3.0.1 I think that covers all the things that you've asked for.

I'm currently in the same boat here. I think my issue has to do with the fact that I do have multiple 'Send as' accounts, but reading above I thought this bug only happened for those who do not have English set as their default langauge.

Just a follow up. I tested this on my home computer using which has version 1.11.0.6 installed and Blank Canvas works. Did something change code-wise in the 6-7 release? Did something change in Gmail that makes it work now in the last few hours? Besides that, here are the extensions I have installed: All-In-One Gestures, Blank Canvas, Delecious Bookmarks, DOM Inspector, Download Statusbar, Duplicate Tab, Firebug, Firefox Accessiblity Extension, Greasemonkey, IE View Lite, Linky, NoScript, Open Link In..., Paste and Go 2 (currently disabled), Tamper Data, Web Developer, Yslow, |

Hi All,
It might be worth starting a thread that lists all known incompatible add-ons?
All the best,
Chris... |

Chris, Thanks for the heads up. I will create a new page that lists conflicting add-ons. |

Good catch Chris! The conflict was with Googlepedia. I love that addon!

Nothing has changed since v1.10 that would cause the conflict that I know of. Better Gmail 2 is listed because of the "Dark" skin as described on the conflict page. |

I was suffering for the same frustrations.
