GMAIL Notifier is not part of Windows. Ask in a GMAIL notifier newsgroup,
or, if it's a Firefox addin, ask in the appropriate forum.

Check Firefox's Preferences/Settings under Security, see if "Remember
Passwords" in checked. You may have to look. The exact location varies
between Firefox versions and which OS they run on, and I don't have
access to XP right now, so I can't check.

Thanks yes that is set to remember passwords.
I am using the same mail notifier on my other p c and every thing seems
to be set the same.
I did do a Google and it seems others are having the same problem but
have no answers to solve it.
guess i will just need to sign in every time i reboot
Strange.

Works on all my Yahoo and GMail accounts. (Firefox 3.5.9 64-bit running
on Fedora 12 Linux 64-bit) In Preferences, check 'Exceptions' and 'Saved
Passwords' and see if anything is there. You may have inadvertently set
some accounts as exceptioned for remembering. Be sure to quit/restart
Firefox after making Preferences changes to load the new settings.

Personally, for security, I never have passwords "remembered" on any of
my systems, Linux or Windows.

Try going to Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords and clearing any entry
for google.com thenrestart firefox and try again.
