To continue the endless barrage of Firefox hype, may I mention Doron Rosenberg's Gmail Notifier. This extension adds an envelope to your status bar that reports the number of unread emails in your Gmail inbox. Makes it possible for me to switch all personal email away from Outlook, without having to leave a tab dedicated to Gmail all day.
Simple, yet satisfying.

It is nice, isn't it? I installed the official notifier, but it just got on my nerves, playing the "new mail" sound and throwing up toast notifications that scrolled by too quickly to read. Doron's just does what it needs to do, where it should do it.
