    I still don't know why it wouldn't update, but I found Gmail Notifier
    0.3.3 sitting in a subdirectory of my
    ~/.firefox/default/<random>.slt/extensions/. (The directory was named
    "{44d0a1b4-9c90-4f86-ac92-8680b5d6549e}", which is the ID of the
    extension, according to the info in Extensions.rdf.) I removed that
    directory and all its contents, restarted Firefox, installed Gmail
    Notifier 0.4, and, when I next restarted Firefox, it was updated.
