User reviews

Gmail™ Notifier (restartless) is appreciated for its multi-account email notifications and convenient email previews without opening Gmail. Users value its lightweight and functional design that supports essential email actions directly from the add-on. However, many report persistent issues such as malfunctioning 'Mark as Read' and 'Trash' buttons, disappearing notification sounds, and unresponsiveness, especially after recent Firefox updates. While the extension remains useful, ongoing problems and uncertain developer support have raised concerns among users.

Provides a preview of emails without needing to open Gmail in a new tab.
Supports common email actions such as marking as read, deleting, replying, and opening inbox directly from the add-on.
Lightweight and unobtrusive, working well without annoying features.
Has been reliably useful over several years with strong functionality improvements over time.

Cons

Frequent malfunctions of key buttons like 'Mark as Read', 'Trash', and other action buttons not working properly or inconsistently.
Notification sounds sometimes disappear and don't function even after resetting settings or reinstalling.
Some functionalities, such as deleting or marking emails as read through the extension, no longer work reliably after recent Firefox updates.
Occasional unresponsiveness when opening specific mails or executing commands, leading to frustration.
Possibility of project abandonment or lack of developer support indicated by unresolved issues and no official announcements.
