Hello Reuven,
The chevron is the Expand menu item that temporarily shows all menu items.

Hi,
I’m using firefox3 pre in which the Apps for Your Domain doesn’t seem to function. The symptom is that the menu item always brings me to http://www.google.com/a instead of http://www.google.com/a/mydomain.com despite of the fact that I’ve already configured my domain name.
Could you please spare some minutes to see into that?
Thanks in advance and thanks for your useful extension.

@Sepp: I’m working on a new version that contains that feature. The bad thing is that I don’t know when it will be ready.
@Allison: I don’t have a Mac to test on. I’l get one running inside a VM and probably see what’s going on before the next release.
@blusior: Will do!

I got the “Type Error: aEls is undefined” pop-up message when Firefox was loaded after I upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1 from 2.0.0.16. Because I have lots of extensions, I could not figured out which ones caused the problem. However, when I tried to figured some issue I have w/ GUtil! (see below), I found the pop-up message disappeared when I disabled GUtil!. I wonder whether GUtil! make any JavaScript call generates this error.
Now, here’s the problem I like to figure out — I just noticed that the menu items list of my GUtil! 2.3.2 does not follow the visibility I set in ‘Option’ and this only happens in FF 3.0.1. My another PC which still has FF 2.0.0.16 does not have this problem.
Joseph
17 Sep 08 at 1:02 pm
I have GUtil! 2.3.2
I get javascript warnings for each Google utility item when I open a Firefox 3.0.1 window. If I have all of the utilities checked I have to click ok or cancel dozens of times before Firefox can start. This is disappointing and I have to disable this add-on until I learn of a fix. Please let me know if there is a fix to this.

24 Sep 08 at 12:48 pm
Sorry for not answering, I’ve been kind of busy lately.
I haven’t upgraded to 3.0.1 yet, as I’ve been away during the update. I’ll try to find and fix the problem sometime next week.

I am running window vista with firefox 3.0.3. From GUtil, I do not seem to be able to open “iGoogle”
I never used this app before until now. In reality I do not know if it is supposed to work, I’m assuming that it is supposed to do. I download the latest GUtil upgrade and still does not work. Thank for any comment.

I added all the requested services, removed the ones that have been discontinued, added keyboard support…
I didn’t include the international support, the reordering or the hidden tools. Maybe next time…

I have enjoyed the utility for some time but have noticed something strange on both work and home machines. I use Flock which is built on the Mozilla engine and most add ons work with no problem. Just after the last update you did when ever I open one thing from your menu it opens up two tabs for the same thing. Any suggestions.

In Options:

How about a hint? What is it? What is it for?

@Matt Wills
Well, if you have Google Apps you must access GMail and the other apps using a domain name.
If you fill in the domain name it will be used by the apps. If you fill in a wrong domain name, you will be directed to “Domain does not exist” pages.
That’s about it.

“…I get javascript warnings for each Google utility item when I open a Firefox 3.0.1 window. If I have all of the utilities checked I have to click ok or cancel dozens of times before Firefox can start…”
I have had the same java alerts issue in various Firefox 3′s on systems with Pentium, Centrino and Athlon processors running both XP and Vista. Disabling other add-ons and tweaking various browser settings has no effect. However, there is a work-around: in the Options menu, check the box to disable the GUtil! toolbar button and the java warnings will go away – albeit with the handy button as well…
Hope this helps both you and your other users, Bogdan…

Regretably, I’m disabling it. I’m using FF 3.0.7. The GUtil menu displays every item even tho’ I’ve checked only about a dozen items in the Options. Also, the GUtil button doesn’t display irrespective of whether it’s checked in the Options.

Following my comment on 27 March, I downloaded the latest version and re-enabled the extension. Unfortunately, it still displays the whole (very long) list of utilities even tho’ I’ve set the Options to display only a a few of them. So regretably, I’ve disabled it again.

Hello,I’m a crazzzzzzzy Gfan.
I’m so interseted in the servises google supported and I checked almost every items. Of course the menu list is too looooong.It’s very inconvenient to use Reader and Translator because the items are in alphabetical order .
Maybe let user decide the order of the items is more effective.
Another approach is that if thre’re too many items just show them in two columus insted of the scroll button.
