It seems Google has made it so that this bookmarklet does not work anymore while browsing mail.google.com, it works if you are browsing any other website.
Tried using Firefox v55.0.3, new profile, all default settings.

It would be highly appreciated if you could fix this useful bookmarklet @deenseth
