Firefox not opneing gmail messages

In the context gmail not igoogle, messages and contacts will not open. Simple says “loading” but the status is done. Works in IE. Possible error below:
Warning: Error in parsing value for 'padding'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: https://mail.google.com/mail/
Line: 1
Disabled all addons, no change.
Help Please don’t make me switch to IE.
Thanks

http://gmail.com

I've had the same problem. Hitting the "get mail" button doesn't work. My work around has been to "Take all accounts offline" then, "Take all accounts online" (which is better than closing and opening Apple Mail, but it's still a pain).
I've been on macs since the early 1980s (before email) and this is the first time I can remember hating Apple mail. So, anyone with a solution would be greatly appreciated. Note: I noticed this problem starting to occur about two weeks ago post the software update.
Thanks!

  • Mac mail sometimes does not load gmail messages

    Several times a week my mail will not load some messages. Most times it works fine. My iphone always gets the mail. What's up with that?

    When you guys say turn ON and OFF, are you referring to "show in IMAP" checkbox in the "Labels" tab in gmail?  As superwhatever mentioned, Apple initially told me to make sure these are showing so that Mail.app picks them up.  If I uncheck "All Mail" and "Important" wont that just mkae Mail.app skip downloading thosemessages that are in Important and All Mail?  Instead shouldn't Mail.app's "Inbox" be set to also incorporate those message that are in Important and All Mail?  This was so much of a headach for me back when the original problem surface that I just stopped using Mail.app and purchased Mailmate.  Since then though, I'm missing certain key functions that Mail.app has and want to take another stab at resolving this.
    On my iphone it shows that I have 18 unread messages for my company account, while in Mail.app it shows only 2 unread.  The other 16 are found in "Important."  how does this get fixed?

  • "Firefox has stopped working" message shortly after accessing gmail account--Help?

    Use firefox to access gmail account. Worked great until tonight--Nov 6th. Firefox autoloaded an update, then within 10 seconds of loading gmail account, I get a message, "firefox has stopped working", followed shortly by "A problem has occurred with firefox. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available". Nothing happens. If I reattempt to get into email or firefox, I get a "this is embarrassing message" with two options: restore or start new session--neither of which work. Please help.

  • Firefox doesn't display text of certain gmail messages seen correctly by IE

    One email correspondent sends me messages which only occasionally fail to display on my gmail account browsed using current Firefox version. Same messages display fine in IE (how humiliating!). He has no idea what he's doing differently from one message to the next. I suspect it might be something about "pasted" in content. The header looks fine - just the body comes up blank. Forwarding to myself doesn't help. I've seen this about 6 times in 6 months - all from same sender - most of whose email comes thru fine. I'd suspect something else except for disturbing fact that IE reads these messages without any problem.

    How safe is it to delete Lucida Grande from my Windows Fonts folder?
    </blockquote>
    I think it depends on how it got there. If it was dropped by Safari for Windows, which is no longer a product that Apple supports, I think it's safe to remove. If it belongs to some other software, then that software might object to losing the font. I'm not sure of the best way to determine that. I suppose you could hedge your bets by dragging it into a different folder so Windows just doesn't see it.

  • Firefox crashes when printing a Gmail message or attachment

    ID: 911954ff-c73d-41fe-bbdb-727902140624
    Firefox crashes whenever I try to print a Gmail message or attachment. Within a message, I click the down arrow and select "Print." The usual print dialog box opens, but when I click "Print" here, Firefox crashes completely.
    Same thing happens if I click on an attachment and click the "print" icon...or open the attachment in Preview and try to print it.
    I'm running up-to-date Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8.

    Hmm, it started happening again, and this time the suggestions above did not fix the problem. Last time, setting another printer as the default worked.
    This time, changing the default printer didn't help. Neither did clicking the "reset Firefox" button.
    I also tried shutting down and restarting the Minolta BizHub that I am trying to print to.
    I can print fine to another printer.
    It worked fine since June 24, my last post.

  • When I open Firefox I get the message "Firefox is already running but not responding . . .

    I am using Firefox 3.6.9 with Windows XP SP3. Almost every time I try to open Firefox I get the message:
    "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    I then must open Task Manager and find Firefox and stop the process.
    I run Firefox on 4 Windows machines and this is the only machine that I have this problem on.
    I have looked at the Mozilla Firefox KB and have tried to check on the items that could be causing the problem. I have update my Java in Firefox. I have un-installed Firefox leaving the Bookmark preferences, etc. on my machine, ran CCleaner to clean the Registry of remaining Firefox items and then re-installed Firefox - I still have the problem.
    I have installed Google Chrome to fix this problem but now I find that several of the websites and companies I do business with are not compatible with Chrome.
    How can I fix this problem? Why am I only having this issue on 1 of my 4 Windows machines?
    Thanks!

    For possible causes see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running but not responding and I can't run another Firefox at the same time. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No change. Tried various other suggestions. Help!!

    When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.

    How are you opening the Profile Manager?

  • When ever I try to open Firefox I get this message saying it can not open.

    "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." I did research on it and I found information on it and it said to to see if the cert6.db is read only and if so unchecked it and restart Firefox, I did that and it did not work same message came up so it then said to delete the file and let Firefox create a new and that should work and it didn't finally they said the fire could be corrupted and to reinstall it I did and it will still not work and i also have over a hundred gbs of free hd space so its not enough room on the hard drive.

    There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • When I try to open Firefox I get a message: "Update could not be installed. Make sure there is not another instance of Firefox. Restart and try again."

    Started w/FF 29 something.on Win XP (Home) SP3
    Verified w/Task manager and PS that there is no other instance of FF.
    Occurs only in my profile, administrator and other users do not get this message.
    First Resetting, did not work.
    Safe mode also did not work.
    Uninstalled completely, even deleted the Firefox folder from my profile and rebooted.
    Downloaded new versions, installed and same issue.
    Firefox now version 33, all seems up to date but I still get that message. When I open Help > About it says I am at version 33 and to restart to upgrade...
    Any ideas greatly appreciated.
    Have reverted to SeaMonkey for now.

    Hello sprytely, go for a clean re-install, this means you '''remove Firefox program files''' and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from the next full installer https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

    Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

  • "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message and recent firefox update

    "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message is continuously popping up after the recent firefox update. I have nearly exhausted every possible solution to the problem as seen from the support page for this error message. I know someone who has the same issue on their computer and it also started right after the recent big update. Does the update have anything to do with this reoccurring issue? Is anyone else having this problem? Any other ideas on how to fix it? It would be great to get some help.

    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
    issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
