Firefox 3.0b4/3.0b5 and Gmail Probem Solution

If you experience the below error when using Firefox 3.0bX to user Gmail, I found that simply clicking the “https” link clears the problem right up. I can only speculate it has something to do with how FF 3.0bX deals with AJAX and security - the “basic HTML view”, where AJAX is turned off, also works. From the mean time, you can probably just create a bookmark to the https version of the page.

Loading…

This seems to be taking longer than usual.

If you are using a slow Internet connection, you can wait a bit longer for this page to finish loading, or just use basic HTML view for now.

If you are using your normal Internet connection and you usually get past this loading step without any problems, please refresh this page in your browser. You can also try signing into Gmail via https, which can help if the problem is caused by a bad proxy server or some types of third-party software. If you continue to have trouble loading your account, please visit the help center for troubleshooting information.

UPDATE 4/19/08 ***********

It appears that Gmail has fixed this problem. You should be able to log straight into Gmail without going through the https:// route.
