To do this, open Safari and open its Preferences, under the General tab there is an option called "Default Web Browser". Select Firefox here and the Google notifier will open links to you inbox in Firefox. Shannon, you can make it use Firefox instead by setting Firefox as your default browser in OS X.

So I did the following and it solved the problem: uninstalled notifier, get rid of the preferences and the googlenotifier certificates in the keychains/ system.keychain, cleaned all the browsers' cache (I use firefox but sometimes safari too, and safari was not even able to access my account's page after the fetch-2 error appeared), run the mainteinance software again (mainmenu: repair disk permissions,run all cron mainteinance scripts,update prebindings,clean user cache,force empty trash,clean archived logs), rebooted, reinstalled google notifier, went to gmail.com via firefox (v3), manually put in name and password, accessed to my account, then ran google notifier (with firefox open and logged into my account) and suddenly it worked. I know that this does not make any sense, but it worked for me (I think I have tried everything and this combination of actions is quite random, but still...). Hope this helps someone.
