Gmail Notifier for Firefox

Gmail Notifier is a lightweight Firefox extension built specifically for helping you view notifications in your web browser each time you receive a message on your Gmail account.

The add-on embeds a small button on your toolbar, so you can easily monitor any new messages sent to your account. It displays the current Gmail address and the number of received email messages.

Gmail Notifier offers support for multiple accounts, and lets you select your account, mark items as read, refresh the information, as well as archive or delete the emails.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are offered the possibility to automatically check for new emails at a user-defined time (in seconds), show reminders for all unread emails at a certain time (in minutes), and stop the checking process for new emails on Firefox startup.

What’s more, you can make the utility display desktop notifications for new emails (and set up the duration of the notification), reveal the author, title, and summary of the new emails in the screen panel, play sounds (WAV or OGG file format), and sort the accounts alphabetically.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility of setting up the toolbar color patterns, searching for an open Gmail account only in the active window, as well as configuring the toolbar button behavior (open the email preview panel or open the Gmail account if you are logged in).

During our testing we have noticed that Gmail Notifier carries out a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It doesn’t hamper your browser functionality, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

Gmail Notifier offers a simple yet efficient software solution for helping you verify your Gmail email messages. The intuitive configuration panel and rich set of features make it an ideal tool for rookies and professionals alike.

If you use Opera on a daily basis, however, you can try out Gmail Notifier for Opera.
