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.

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!

Cannot access audiogon via firefox or safarai on my mac; please help.

Until this afternoon, using Safari and then google, I never had a problem accessing audiogon. I tried google via firefox and have the same problem. Can you help me restore access? Please know that there is not a problem with audiogon. I contacted a friend who uses audiogon regularly as I do and he has normal access. Thank you in advance!

Hi A Big Panda,
This is in fact very little to go on.
Some info on what you have tried, what you have set up and what router and or modem you have and how you have set them up would help.

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.

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.

How do I access GMail via POP?

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion I had Mail configured to access my GMail account via POP rather then IMAP. I mistakely deleted the GMail POP account configuration. Now, Mail 6 won't allow me to chose how to access GMail - POP or IMAP. Apple removed the Account Type option that was present during account set-up. Is there any way I can create a mail account configuration that uses the POP protocol?
Thanks,
John

IMAP is inferior to POP for a lot of business applications. It's not really correct to say IMAP is better than POP, they are different methods with different feature sets. With IMAP there's no ability to store a message on the server if you download, then it is deleted on a client. This can be a disaster when you have multiple people monitoring the same email, or you are using multiple devices. Once accidental misclick archive filing for example while on your iPhone can cause your desktop not to receive the mail, or not be filtered properly. Many business depend on this for orders, customer service, and general communication. IMAP cannot be trusted, even with myself as a developer. Using IMAP is like relying on interns at Pixar to use Unix commands perfectly and not delete the feature film with a late night brainfart.
When you receive a lot of email, things get overlooked, and IMAP has been the root of more than one catastrophe in my life. The main upside to IMAP is that you can manage the space of email, but this is 2013, and my entire mail archive since 1994 is less than 50gb. I think space doesn't matter much anymore, better to be safe with pop, than sorry. I might get my email 1-5 minutes later having to fetch it instead of being pushed, but that's ok considering the consequences of the alternative. Email is not designed to be an instant thing anyway.
It's annoying gmail defaults to IMAP in Apple mail now, but not in IOS. Makes no sense.

SL/Mail 4.1: Cannot Fetch Gmail via POP

Since upgrading to SL/Mail 4.1, mail.app will no longer fetch gmail via POP access (this worked fine before the upgrade). However, sending mail from mail.app works fine. I get an error dialog, "Mail cannot verify the identity of pop.gmail.com." Clicking the Details button, reveals that the certificate is "imap.gmail.com," even though the account has been set-up as a POP account from within mail.app and in my Gmail account settings. Anyone else notice this? Ideas? Many thanks.

Having the same problem on my wife's Macbook Pro. I set the account up as a POP account a few days ago and now when I looked at it today, it was both an IMAP AND a POP account. I deleted the account and tried adding it again, but was NOT given the option for custom account setup (that little check box at the first screen for new accounts). The server will not authenticate under POP because it is imap.gmail.com.

Cannot access Story via desktop app (OS X 10.7.3)

I cannot access my online account via the Desktop app though I am able access my account via Firefox web browser.
I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 on a 2007 MacBook Pro. I have tried to uninstall (including system files) and re-install the
app with no success. Do you have any suggestions?

No, not at all. It used to work on the same OS Lion. And just for an FYI, the system preference path that you recommended DOES NOT work with OS X 10.7.2....maybe it worked with the 10.7.2 but not with the latest. Do you have any recommendation?
Here are two screenshots of the error that I get. The first one is the error that I get when I input my right username and password. I tried to check if it was a matter of wrong password, but it is not as you can see on screenshot 2. So I need help!!!
And btw it says that I am running Adobe Story build 838. I cannot install any other version.

Cannot access gmail

Installed FF today.When trying to log in to my gmail,the login page comes back,enter password again and so on. I never had this problem in IE and if it is not put right quickly,I give up FF.
I tried to reset my password,that did not work.
It is aproblem on this computer as I have tried on another one and it worked on that.

I downloaded Chrome and used it but still kept Firefox as my preferred browser. But after I installed Chrome, it became harder and harder to access my gmail account from Firefox. So, I made every suggested tweak to every part of my system but it did not help. Finally, I uninstalled Chrome and updated everything. But since I uninstalled Chrome, the problem got worse and now it is almost impossible to load Gmail from Firefox.
So, although I have spent hours on forums addressing this problem, nothing helps. Yet I have no trouble with gmail with any other browser, using my same computer and exactly the same settings.
This is very frustrating and time wasting and I wish I could get more direct help from Firefox instead of being left to post a reply into cyberspace.
The Firefox community is very smart and resourceful, and I wish someone from Firefox could see this and address it directly as well. The only thing is, I am not sure this started at Firefox. On lots of the forums, I saw comments taking them to task for the issue. But in my experience it started after using Chrome, even though it actually got worse after I uninstalled Chrome.
Maybe Google is blocking Firefox, rather than Firefox blocking Google.

I cannot access gmail

I can access gmail from IE and Chrome. Not from Mozilla. I tried the cookies thing and the safe made thing and still get this.
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Hi Justin,
I guess then that you have read and tried all suggestions in
* [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]]
Can you please confirm you also cleared cookies. I have have a gmail account and can still access it. I presume gmail is the only site you have noticed this error on.
# Can you get to the google site with any of these links
#* https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?
#* Or the numeric one for Google 74.125.142.84 then click the +you option
#* (avoid using your bookmark)
# After
## Setting Firefox to only open with this site and google tabs (Risk reduction, close other tabs & Windows)
## Try temporarily disabling all security software,
## In Firefox's safe mode
## Attempt the step 1 again.
# Finally if still no luck repeat but this time in Windows Safe mode with networking. (IIRC method changed in Win 8 will check and add info later)
Just for info it is unlikely to be a DNS issue but this is a good article should it turn out to be

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!

Cannot access iBookstore via iPad since iOS7

I cannot access iBookstore from my iPad since updating to iOS7. I've even restored the iPad, uninstalled and reinstalled the app - no luck. I've checked that there are no restrictions to the iBookstore. I can press the store button from within the app, but all I see is a blank screen. The search option is available in the top right corner, and the "Featured", "Top Charts", "Top Authors" and "Purchased" options at the bottom.
Help!

Success!
I found out that the issue was "cookies". I had in the Safari setting, "Always" in the Block Cookies section.
