I'm totally confused. Somehow I can't log in to my gmail account through firefox. If I use the same username and pw in IE, it works fine, but it's not working in firefox. what in the world is going on??
I think I upgraded within the last week - but I have accessed gmail on firefox since that upgrade. Should I just unistall and reinstall?
I was going to say clear out your cache and see if that works. It's happened in prior versions of Firefox. See following link (it's for an older version of Firefox, but...) http://devcha.blogspot.com/2007/08/firefox-gmail-login-problemerrorissue.html
Any add-ons like NoScript may cause some problems too Though "Better Gmail" is a totally awesome add-on
That's what I tried last night after yall's advice, but it didn't work. I turned the computer completely off and turned it back on this AM and it still wouldn't work. Gmail login still works under IE for me and on Firefox on my work computer. I also had my wife try to log in through firefox under her gmail account (on my computer) and it didn't work. I'll try one more time tonight and then I'm going to go for a reinstall of firefox.
You most likely have a cookie that is corrupt and won't let go. I would clear all your cookies too. Especially if they did not clear out after you cleared private data. If you can logon through firefox on another PC, its not Gmail's fault or firefox's. The problem has to be your PC. I feel confident that it is a corrupt cookie or password file.
Go to Start / Programs / Mozilla / Firefox (Safe Mode) This is going to give you a box with different options to disable. First try "Disable all add-ons" and continue. If it then works properly then you know one of your add-ons is screwing you over and then from there proceed to disable one by one until you find the problem. If disabling the add-ons does not fix the problem then start Safe Mode again and try one of the other Resets that they have there for you. Go through them all until your problem is fixed. If none of that works then it isn't really firefox that is the problem. It would more then likely be spyware/malware/virus and you would need to clean appropriately.
