PROBLEM:
The account with 2-factor authentication was not working anymore with X-notifier. (it's greyed).
It's because when I tried to type the code received via text it did not work.

SOLUTION:
You have to type only the 6 digits received via text message and not the G letter in front of the digits.

and

My situation was completely the same but I found a solution.

  1. Open the Gmail account manually,
  2. Logout,
  3. Then click login button in the main window.
  4. You will see a page about account verification (this is the cause of the issue).

Proceed to the next and now X-notifier works.

THANKS TO:
Egan and brightest

I notice that 'underline' in tab title "screw-up" on Gmail account.
A couple of Gmail do NOT work.

You can look into past forum discuss about 'underline' in tab title...

What I found a solution?

  1. Open the Gmail account manually,
  2. Logout,
  3. Then click login button in the main window,
  4. You will see a page about "Choose what's right for you"
    I picked (Dot) No changes - continue on  your way.....
    You can choose other two?
  5. Repeat number 1, if you have other not working Gmail account.
  6. After that restart Firefox.

It seem that the problem go away.
