iGoogleBar
IG February 5th, 2008 - By Haochi
Googler Michael Bolin’s latest Firefox extension iGoogleBar (he also wrote the famous Chickenfoot extension) “adds Google Apps favicons to the Google Apps Bar, using them as triggers for the Apps’ respective iGoogle Gadgets.” The extension also shows the number of unread items in Gmail and Google Reader next to their favicons.
The extension is not very customizable (yet), it currently supports only Calendar, Documents, Gmail, Groups, Notebook, Photos, and Reader. It’s still very cool nonetheless.
Oh no, it’s going to be FREEZING for the next two days here in Columbus! ò0O (<-snowman)

I’ve been using this since yesterday and I think its great. It seems that it makes loading a *little* bit slower but not much. Very useful.

It’s bad. I don’t get virtual popups when I click on the link, so I’m gonna uninstall it.

You are supposed to click on the favicon. :)

I’ve been using the igooglebar for a week or two, but today, it got screwed up. The linkes are now all on the left and “behind” the folder links for gmail itself… what’s going on? anyone else have this problem?

@gboruk: Been having the same problem! Any luck finding a solution?

I have the same problem as 4 and 5. It didn’t happen at first, but suddenly moved yesterday.

My iGoogleBar worked fine originally but now it is vertical on the left side of the page also covering up my GMail links. I have had to uninstall it because it is now getting in the way.

Looks like a lot of us are having the same problem. I’ve disabled it. Hoping for the creaters to come out w/ a fix… uhh hint hint… My guess is that google introduced some change which caused the problem.

did this stop working for you guys again? I think when i installed the latest firefox update, it stopped working! is this software that sensitive to changes?
