What is “chevron”?
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.
Hello,
I am going to test that functionality on 3.0b5 and also update the plugin.
Thanks for your message.

Bogdan
Fixed the Apps issue in 2.3.1, pending Mozilla approval.

Bogdan
Thanks for the update! Apps function works fine on FF3 RC1 now!

I would like to see YouTube added to a future version of GUtil! Thank you for a most helpful programme.
@Leo: You are welcome. Thanks for using the extension.
@Gregory: Sure thing, it will be included in the next version.

GUtil, Apply on Opera??
Hi, excelent utility for Firefox. I have one suggestion. It could be great if there would be an option to change order of elements in pop up menu. Anyway, great utility. Thank you.

I am using firefox 3.0 on 2 different Mac laptops. Gutil doesn’t work on either one. Just made sure I had the latest and had the same problem. Doesn’t work at all.
One of my favourite addon for FFX and Flock.Thank You.
!Where is Google Sky button???
Greetings from RP
@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!
Thanks for the messages and for using Gutil.

Bogdan
Request for Feature: Would it be possible to add https option for Docs and Spreadsheets? It is a must have for securing your shared Google Docs.
@Allison: I’m using MacBook Pro under Tiger (10.4.11) and Firefox 3.0 and GUtil! 2.3.2 works just fine for me.
I’ve installed on a MacBook and an IMac, both intel duo core. It doesn’t work for me either. I am using Leopard 10.5.4.
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.
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.
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.

Bogdan
Hi, the GUtil! dropdown list items in menubar don’t function using keyboard. I hope you fix this.
Would love to see sites.google.com added…
Thanks!
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…

Bogdan
After I have upgraded to the latest version, two identical tabs open whenever I click, say, gmail or maps. I am running FF 3.0.3 on Windows XP SP3
Hello,
I found the problem.
I’m going to get another version out in a couple of days that will fix the problem.
Thanks for the feedback, it’s highly appreciated.

With version 2.3.3, when I click on the Gmail menu, it opens two tabs/windows.
Same as Nisi..
GUtil worked great up until the update to 2.3.3, now it opens two identical google application tabs (instead of one) when I click on anything from the menu.
Hello,
I will fix the problem with an update tonight.
Thank you for your feedback and for using GUtil.

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:
“Google Apps Domain
Insert the domain name in the box below.
Please use this only if you know what you are doing!”
How about a hint? What is it? What is it for?
How does one acquire the knowledge of what one is doing?
I finally got 20 minutes to fix the duplicating tab bug so I finally did it.
The new version is in the Sandbox so it should be available in a day or two.
Sorry for the irritating bug
Thanks for using Gutil!
Regards,
Bogdan

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.

Thanks

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…
