Log into Gmail today and you might see big red warning about Greasemonkey scripts. For those of you keeping score, Google has been spiffing up Gmail over the past few weeks, including a nice code overhaul, colored labels, group chat and AIM capabilities. Oh, and the tasty IMAP. Now it appears some scripts have become such a nuisance that Google offers a chance to "fix this" which we declined. Unfortunately, their help files have no specific info on Greasemonkey, so once you've dismissed this warning there appears to be no going back. What the "fix this" button does do is recommend you upgrade to Better Gmail 2.

I am never gonna use Gmail 2 until it stops locking up on me. I realize I forgot to go back to the older version everytime I send or view a msg in Gmail 'cause FF just gets locked up on me. I have no problem with the old version. And it's not my machine or profile because it just happened to me today at another location on their laptop.
What would be really nice is me being able to choose which version I want to use and it staying persistent, something apparently Googleites aren't familiar with!

Hey, if you have the web developer extension installed, try removing it. I found gmail to be extremely crash-prone until I removed the Web Developer Toolbar.
