This is perfect for me. I'm wondering if you could do one for Google Reader!?

Thanks.

Great time saver! , Feb 19, 2009

Being able to simply glance at my Gmail tab in Firefox to see if I have any unread email is a big time-saver. No need to switch to the Gmail tab just to see if I have new email.

My only suggestion is to have a bigger Unread Message digit in the Favicon. It's a bit small to see as it currently is.

It works perfectly.
Wonder what is the maximum amount of unread messages and if it updates automatically.

Should be part of Gmail , Jan 5, 2009

Why doesn't Gmail add this functionality itself? I must if you use the Faviconize Tab extension.

Great idea, but not fully working. , May 31, 2009
Review written by Dave Nicolai - see all my reviews (1)

I really like the idea behind it, but unfortunately it shows the wrong count more often than not. Originally I thought it was just a bit slow and lagged behind the actual inbox count, but on a few occasions i've seen it jump up to large numbers of unread mail that just weren't ever there. I hope the author can get these issues worked out, but I'd like it even better if gmail just offered this as an option.
