This has probably been asked before, but what has happened to the FF
add-on Gspace? I was using it to store files fairly recently, but now I
just cannot access it at all, either from FF 3.6.12 or Beta 4.0 7. I
seem to remember reading it had problems, but has no-one fixed it yet??

I have a feeling the reason G-spaces is not working (don't use it) is
the same reason the add-onn G-mail Notifier is not working.

As of version 3.6.10 (for me at least) access to gmail facilities have
been broken - some bug introduced on FF or failure of FF developers to
keep up with G-mail changes.

Google now has features that allow you to store documents and share
or not share those documents with collaborators. You can have documents
that would only be known by their url so if no one introduces it to a search
engine it is protected by obscurity but could be viewed by anybody.

<snip> This is all beside the point. It has little to do with the errors
of add-ons to FF linking to gmail. Yes, I also access google docs via an
URL link. 'G-space' and 'Gmail Notifier' are add-ons.

Both of the utilities you mention, Gspace and Notifier are add-ons.
They are not written (nor supported) by FF developers.

In the case of Notifier, for example, the author ceased development back
in August. Google made changes to their GMail api, ergo the add-on
doesn't work.

But this has nothing to do with a so-called "failure of FF developers..."

fwiw,
