I am trying to determine whether it is that extension by enabling/disabling certain extensions and analyzing the affects. It is down to CustomizeGoogle or IE Tab.

Before I used it all the time but ever since I started testing Firefox 2 back in January I never really felt the need for it.

It really is excellent, and can also be useful when friends want to check their Gmail - just switch the rendering engine and you won't be logged out on Firefox, yet you don't need to open a new browser.
