Cannot access gmail with firefox only with windows explorer

Just installed Firefox on new computer and when going to google web site I cannot access my gmail. I get the message "not a valid gmail address". I can go to google with windows explorwer and there I can get access to my gmail.

Hi,
You can try to access Gmail without the Gmail labs feature and see if the problem goes away: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
If it works then perhaps a labs feature is problem.

Also, try accessing after clearing the cache: '''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' + '''Del''' or '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Clear Recent History''', choose '''Everything''' in '''Time range to clear''' and '''Cache''' in '''Details'''.

Cannot access gmail on Firefox with Windows 8.1

When I try to access gmail, I get the following message from FireFox:
"Untrusted Connection"
"If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
mail.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)"
Additionally, Firefox offers no other solution to this problem.
This is a new HP laptop with Windows 8.1. My previous laptop had Windows 7 and before that all of the other Windows versions and I've never had a problem accessing Gmail before using Firefox.
I use gmail literally all day long for my work. Please fix this or tell me how to fix it.

hi, in order to know what's going on we probably need more information about the issuer of the failing certificate. please proceed like this:
enter '''chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul''' into the location bar, and in the page that opens, set the server location to "https://mail.google.com" in order to retrieve and view the certificate.
then please report back with the data of the issued by section of the certificate viewer.
thank you!

I cannot access gmail via Firefox 3.6.22

Because you have upgraded Firefox and seen to it that the new version will not work well with older versions of OS X (mine is 10.4.11) I cannot access my gmail any longer via Firefox. Gmail no longer supports the older Firefox. You are all in cahoots. This kind of planned obsolescence is disgusting. It forces people to continue upgrading and spending. Capitalists! disgusting!

Nope. I have a mac, running OS X 10.4.11, and I can no longer access gmail if I use the Firefox browser. it just spins it wheels. I can however access it no problem with Camino. Sure, not all options are now available to me, but I frankly dont care. I just want to access my mail. No go with Firefox.

How do I stop calendar from coming on automatically and overiding gmail so that I cannot access it. I can use windows explorer and this does not happen.

When I use firefox to access my gmail account, the calendar comes on by itself and I then cannot get to my emails. If I get the gmail account by windows explorer this does not happen. What can I do within firefox to stop this from happening. It just started this today.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

I had the Integrated Gmail 2.5.5 addon enabled.
After disabling the addon the problem is gone.
Hope it works to you guys.

I cannot access gmail from firefox 9 despite dealing with cookies & cache. It opens fine in IE8 but not firefox

I have tried all the google mail suggestions, including allowing www.google.com to send cookies but it makes no difference. I had problems with adblock plus blanking out the text in gmail but uninstalling this cured problem but today I can't get in at all.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT201077 Why can't I access my iCloud albums from apps on my mobile devices?When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because

When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync. I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless. I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary. I want everything easy to organize and access. It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution. Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution. I have not found answers yet.

Norton identity safe with firefox 5 and windows 7 compatibility?

Will my Norton Identity Safe work with Firefox 5 and Windows 7?

This is an old thread and the question was asked in relation to Firefox 22.
We are now on Firefox 23.0.1
If anyone has a problem using Norton with Firefox 23.0.1 or Firefox 23 please start a new thread. Use [/questions/new]
mikeymack2002 says above
''1 temporarily disable Firefox auto update''
'' 2 download the new version of FIREFOX ...''
'' just simply that it doesn't like the new Firefox update at present,''
If I understand that correctly mikeymack2002 is saying Norton does not like the Firefox updater. If that is the case it is a separate problem.Please start a new thread.
I do not wish to go off topic and continue discussing Firefox 23 and Norton here but will just add some information before locking this old and solved thread.
With regard to Firefox 23 please note this Norton post about Norton <s>not</s> '''now''' being compatible with Firefox 23

Hello Helena.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Since I disabled features in the people widget, I cannot access gmail

I was so annoyed at the people widget covering up my emails that I disabled all the features IN it instead of the whole widget (which I have since learned how to do) and now I cannot access gmail with firefox. I can with internet explorer though, but prefer to use firefox.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Unable accessing gmail via firefox 3.6.8.

trouble is fresh of today
unable accessing gmail via firefox 3.6.8. whereas MSE 8 works okay.
have cleared cache, cookies; checked registry; restarted.

Same problem here, tried same solutions, none worked sofar.
Trying to get to use firefox standardly, no mail means no luck. Any solutions?
Firefox 4 beta same problem.

Trying to open local files(gif, html, swf etc) with Firefox only opens a blank window.

Currently on FF33.0.2
I used to open gif and swf files(also doesn't work on saved html files) on my local hard drive with Firefox just fine before by just manually double clicking the file and FF would automatically run it just fine.
Now it only opens up a new window in the startup page.
Any other browser(Chrome, IE) that I use to open them works.
Also, I can manually force FF to run the files by dragging or using the [Open] command in the menu bar but then it's much more convenient if it runs them automatically by clicking the files themself.

Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser as the default browser.

Lately accessing gmail on Firefox has seemed so slow with non-responding messages

Firefox WAS my favorite browser. lately, it seems like I am dragging an anchor when accessing gmail through it. I keep getting annoying Firefox is not responding messages. Also, in several of my many gmail accounts, I get notices that I have been signed out and have to copy whatever messages I am writing, log out, log back in again and then have to paste the message and then continue.
The first problem has gotten so prevalent and a frustrating waste of my time and energy that I am switching back to Internet Explorer. Please do share any recommendations.

Hi Bettertown47,
Sorry to hear you had such poor experiences with 8.0.1. I never had thos issues with it, but I'm sure it was frustrating. You should try 9.0.1 and see if that helps. There have been some significant improvements in speed and performance. If you are interested, just take a look at [[Updating Firefox]] for steps.
Cheers!

I cannot access my Amazon author account with Firefox but is OK with IE. It has something to do with security. How can I fix this?

When I go to my author account at Amazon.com I have to enter my password into a secure area before I can add books or edit already published Kindle books. With Firefox the secure buttons do not appear, hence no access.
With IE I do not have this problem.

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.
