Adsense Notifier Fix Problem


Adsense Notifier enables you to look at you Adsense account stats automatically on your Firefox status bar. For those who keep looking at their Adsense accounts every minute to see if they got clicks, without taking time out of going to google adsense login. This plugin will surely give you great relief. This plugin is now made available for the Firefox 3.0. It was created by Allen Holman of mincus code and has become a quite popular addon for many Adsense users. 

You can download Adsense Notifier here.

Password Problem

I just want to show you how I temporarily fixed Adsense Notifier 0.9.8 to work with Firefox 3. The Adsense Notifier is an addon for Firefox that displays Adsense statistical information in the Firefox status bar. This Allows an Adsense user to view their earnings at a glance instead of logging into the Adsense website multiple times a day.



Adsense Notifier has worked fine for those using Firefox 2. However, with the current release and mandatory upgrade to Firefox 3, Adsense Notifier 0.9.8 stops working. Adsense Notifier will not remember Adsense password and will continue to nag for the password every time you launch Firefox. I have written Allen in regard to this bug and in the meantime have created a temporary fix.

The following fix worked for me, however, I am offering no warranty for this information. Proceed at your own risk.

How I fixed the Adsense Notifier Password Prompting Problem

1. Right click This Link and select the option to save link as. Save the file asadsense.xpi
2. Create a folder called adsense on your desktop
3. Rename the adsense.xpi file to adsense.zip and extract it's contents to the adsense folder
4. Navigate to the /adsense/components/ folder and open nsAdsensenotifier.js with a text editor
5. On line 103, replace the following line of code:

var passwd = " ";

6. With the following line of code (replacing password with your actual password):

var passwd = "password";

7. Save the nsAdsensenotifier.js file
8. Create an adsense.zip file from "all of the files and folders" within the adsense folder
9. Rename the adsense.zip file to adsense.xpi and open it with Firefox
10. Let Firefox load the extension

If all goes well, the plugin should now function. Hopefully Allen will be able to address this bug in a future release soon.
