I am getting a browser pop up asking for HTTP authentication with the message "new mail feed" every few seconds and it is REALLY intrusive. It must be related to this script because if I click "cancel" no number appears next the gmail count.

I've seen that too, but not near as often, and never tied down what was causing it. I'm using FF5 and Scriptish in W7-32, always with the latest version of the script.

It doesn't happen a lot, but the next time it does, I'll do a screen shot.

Not sure what kind of security settings you're looking for. I'm pretty sure I'm just using defaults.

The same happens to me. Version 1.0.7 in FF5 on W7-64.

About once a month I've got to reenter my password (access to gmail/reader page brings the reenter the password page). For example I leave my computer, come back and I see the http auth. Press cancel on it a couple of times while trying to call a refresh on gmail, cancel a couple more times while it asks for my password, since I'm running Lastpass the password field is already filled, quickly press the login button and then the pop up is gone.

What I'm talking about is not the the regular Gmail login page, but rather a popup asking for a username and password. I've never seen it before until recently and I don't know for sure that this script is causing it, but this topic makes me think it might.

And that's also a popup that I get and how I get rid of it is by going to my Gmail or Reader tab and reentering my password.

IMHO, it looks like the script is sending request to Google using the same login cookie as my gmail/reader tab that has expired, making Firefox asking to reenter the credentials.

I have the same problem but for me the popup comes again and again... and if i click cancel it will go away but no numbers are shown :(

I think this is caused by using KeePassHttp Plugin for Firefox (I'm using FF6).
Would be cool if you are able to fix this (because this plugin would be damn usefull).

Great Idea on that one!

Its not that plugin, its Firefox itself, anyway here is the solution:

Edit the plugin with notepad

Go to this part and add your gmail username & password to the https line with username:password@

// Get Gmail Count.
		GM_xmlhttpRequest({
			method: 'GET', 
			url: 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom',

Example (chucknorris:12345@):

// Get Gmail Count.
		GM_xmlhttpRequest({
			method: 'GET', 
			url: 'https://chucknorris:12345@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom',

no more popup, but this is recomended only for 1 user pcs

I am having the same problem. Win 7 64 Firefox 7 Scriptish and lastpass firefox not saving passwords.

Have the problem myself as well. Had to disable the script entirely. I was already logged into Gmail, but this script persisted in CONSTANT popup spam asking for my Google password! BAD BAD BAD BAD... Worse, it does not identify itself in the popup.... I spent hours searching for what was causing the popup.
