I did the fix:

by alexthomas on September 9, 2011 #(His add-on gmail_manager-0.6.4.1.1-fx+sm.xpi)

that seemed to work. then had the issue where couldn't switch account without manually loggin in, the left click not flowing thru. So I did the tweak:by nexusroot on September 13, 2011 #Now it seems to work fine.

Also, discovered why in the past I couldn't see the email account listing on bottom of firefox, but it was present on tools menu. It has to do with the gmail manager preferences file settings. Looked at that prefs.xml file and noticed strange older settings from older version of gmail manager. Specifically the <pref id="toolbar-display" value="false"/> was set for all accounts. So made one and only one of the accounts "true" setting. That helped a lot. Made the listing appear on the Add-on bar where it should be located (you need to tell firefox to view Add-on bar also). When set "true" for more than one gmail account then it showed multiple on add-on bar which i didn't like the way it looked. Could be useful to you though. Also noticed many gmail accounts had <pref id="toolbar-toolbar-id" value="status-bar"/> which is not what I wanted anymore for newer versions of firefox. So switched all the gmail accounts to value "addon-bar". In general, the reason the gmail accounts were not showing on bottom of firefox, on the addon-bar, was this preferences prefs.xml file values. This was being read upon firefox launch and if had strange unexpected stuff then the gmail accounts were not showing on bottom.

As a side question, the one email account selected to id="toolbar-display" value="true" is being displayed in the listing with bold font. Not sure what that bold font means exactly. Would someone who knows about this please explain. Seems to be cosmetic thing I just don't understand. Not effecting functionality.
