Gmail doesn't work in firefox; does work in internet explorer

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Firefox 27.0.1
IE 11.0.9600.16428
my email account is with gmail.com
Everything works fine with IE; I connect to my gmail account and everything works normally.
When I use Firefox, I can login to my gmail account with no problem, but when I open an
email message, I see the message for 2 or 3 seconds, then I get dumped to a "re-enter your password" page. When I login again, I'm sent back to the same email message, I see it for 2 or 3 seconds, then it's back to the "re-enter your password" page. It doesn't matter which email message I try to view; works fine in IE, but "re-enter your password" in Firefox.

Does Gmail work better in a private browsing window? This is a test to see whether cookies are a factor. You can create a new private window by either:
* Pressing Ctrl+Shift+p
* orange Firefox button (or File menu) > New Private Window
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How can I get version 3 of Firefox. One web site that I need to use monthly hasn't upgraded their software & it doesn't work on Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer

    Up until two months ago I was able to access this one web site (www.melaleuca.com). It is a site that I order from monthly. When I type the address in I get a screen saying "the connection was reset while the page was loading". I called their tech support & of course it's never their fault, it must be my computer! NOT! I go on financial trading and banking web sites that are super crypted, so it's not my computer. The tech support said that their web site only works with Firefox 3.0. I told them that was dumb! My other theory is that one of those insidious "upgrades" that Microsoft is always doing changed something, but they're never going to admit to it. I can access the web site on my iPhone, but that is tedious. Help!

    I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your problem, but I wrote to them also to get back the old Firefox, where Google was there. I lost one of my toolbars with certain
    bookmarks, this is a major headache. If you get any info. I would like it if you could let me know and I will do the same. [email protected]

    .... the applet only works with firefox and not in Internet Explorer. Even with a new certificate, IE does not ask me whether I trust the applet or not. Only a blank screen with a red cross..
    In spite of having configured "show Java console", the Java console is NOT opened in the task bar, so I cannot add further log messages....
    Why do the two browsers behave differently?? How can I fix it?
    Appreciate any hint :-)

    When I see "it doesn't work in IE" I always have to ask: Windows 7? 64 bits system? Are you sure you are running this in the 64 bits internet explorer? The default IE is the 32 bits version, so if you don't have a 32 bits Java runtime installed applets are not going to work at all, signed or otherwise.

    I don't know how successfully this will be but you can turn on the Developer menu (Advanced tab in preferences) in Safari and change the User Agent to trick the documents into thinking you're using IE. You can also do that by adding the User Agent Switcher extension to Firefox.
    Otherwise, you need to run Windows in BootCamp, as a Windows Virtual Machine in software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box, or the Windows environment of CrossOver Mac, as Niel says.

  • My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

    Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
    Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
    So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
    Is there supposed to be a length limit?

  • How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

    how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • HP Touchsmart tx2 1025dx keyboard not working. Touchscreen does work. Help.

    HP  Touchsmart tx2 1025dx keyboard  not working.  Touchscreen does work.  Help.

    I am having the exact same problem with the DoS beep that now sounds like screetching upon boot up. It is so bad that I can no longer turn off the computer, or it usually doesnt boot up for hours. I will give the USB keyboard trick a try tho.
    The worst of it is that I leave the computer on standby at night to avoid the boot issue, and the computer starts itself up at night, like 2am and starts beeping nonstop until I manually power it down with the power button. Ive been having these problems for 2 years, since I first purchased the computer, and I just recently found out that the battery has failed, even though the computer is ALWAYS plugged in, and has been used on battery mode for all of 10 hours max. I believe this boot problem is a battery related issue. This battery is not on the HP recall list (not surprisingly).
    I called HP customer support, and even contacted a case manager. They pretty much dont want to hear about the problem because I am out of warrantee x1 year. They pretty much dismiss it until I pay 330$ for repairs. They laugh at the anguish this night-time awakening is causing. Very disrespectful for HP customer service. Not sure if I will buy an HP again.
    Anyways, let's work on this issue together. Can anybody send me a link to that manual? I would like to try resetting the RAM. This computer is in brand new condition, and the keyboard, battery and boot are all malfunctioning for no reason at all.
    Best of luck in your search for answers.

  • Adobe flashplayer running slow on Talk Talk home page. Works OK if I switch to Internet Explorer.

    Talktalk homepage becomes slow to respond and generates a message stating that Adobe flash player being made to run slow by some content. Works OK if I switch to Internet explorer as suggested by Talk talk technical.

    I have stated what I was able to glean from the report. If you disagree so be it.
    I will say that I heard the same comment numerous times in the past of years of usage without problems. Only to have them tell me later oh by the way I removed the code that you suggested I should remove and the performance increased.
    As I said it is your Mac and you can do with it as you wish. I am just trying to help you solve your problem.

  • Layer disappears in Safari, off center in Firefox, but perfect in Internet Explorer!

    I have a layer of a quicktime file on top of a jpeg image. In Safari 3.1, there is nothing but the jpeg. In Firefox 2.0.0.14, the quicktime box is off to the left and works, though off-center. In Internet Explorer 5.2 (Mac), the quicktime file works as it is supposed to and it is placed correctly.
    See: http://www.wissmedia.com/
    I am using CS1 GoLIve. This is the first time I have worked with layers.
    Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    The QuickTime file is working for me in Safari. Still having Safari problems there, or was that already fixed? Are the right QuickTime plug-ins already installed for Safari?
    The difference placement by the different browsers is probably more due to the size of your browser window than anything else - change the width of your browser window and you'll see that the page content centers while the Layer stays put, as it's positioned from the top and left edges of the page. To get the layer to center with the rest of the content, see this tutorial:

  • When accessing eBay with Firefox and launching a search, I get less results/hits with Firefox then when using Internet Explorer, why? Try it, you'll see.

    For example access eBay with Firefox and launch a search on the word Frankenstein: you'll get something like 23,671 results (if you search in ''All categories''). Then quit the Firefox browser and load Microsoft Internet Explorer instead; access eBay again and repeat the very same search: this time you'll get 25,383 results. These are reral figures that I tried at 19:21 on March 20, 2014. Why does a search on eBay through Firefox report less hits than the very same search through Internet Explorer? Using Firefox rather than Microsoft Internet Explorer automatically means missing hits/results/items on eBay: that doesn't make sense but it does happen. Why is it so? Thank you, somebody, for shedding light on this problem.

    Try this steps and try to load the same once again!!!

  • Can't post pics on forum with firefox but can with Internet explorer

    I can't post pictures/images on a certain forum when using firefox but when using Internet explorer on the same forum it works. Any solutions please?

    Hi Meghraj, Thank you for your reply! I am afraid a screenshot will not reveal much. When I click on "add file" on the forum to post a pic it opens my files and once I select my file that I want to post and click on "open" it goes back to the forum page but the file is not there. When I do this same action with Internet explorer it works. But I don't really use internet explorer and would like to use firefox rather. A few members on the forum using firefox have the exact same problem. Any ideas? Thank you! :)

    Well I downloaded FireBug but I don't see how it debugs flash.  IE8 is case sensitive so spelling isn't an issue.  I tried to simplify the original example because I get the URL from XML var hardcodedXML:String="<photos><image title='Test 1'>image1.jpg</image></photos>";  It works under IE8 - I just can't get it to work in FireFox.
