No GMail in Firefox 7

I cannot get Firefox 7 to open my GMail though it is quick in Chrome. It does show the GMail account at the top but then fails to open and runs out of time.
Windows 7 Professional
FireFox 7.0.1

I found a workaround. Gmail was not the only site with which I had this problem; it had something to do with all https connections (like https://www.gmail.com).
When FF tries to establish a SSL connections, it also tries to verify the validity of the cerfiticate provided by the webserver. Therefor it uses the OCSP protocol (Online Certificate Status Protocol).
I disabled the OCSP check (options -> advanced -> encryption -> validate).
After I disabled it, I could access again the https secured websites (like gmail, ogone, etc) using Firefox.
It's strange that this feature was activated - or malfunctioned - after the upgrade to FF7. In earlier versions of the browser (on the same computer) it was never a problem. I cannot verify anymore if OCSP was enabled in the previous versions.
Anyway, this workaround worked for me, but I'm not happy with it (I think that certificate validation is a good thing; it helps against spoofing).

Is there a solution for this?
I just opened Firefox for the first time in a couple of weeks and am experiencing the same problem. I see my Gmail inbox briefly before being redirected to the calendar. Clicking the back button produces the same result.
Very frustrating.

I cannot open my gmail nor send any gmails on Firefox. My wife also has gmail and she has no problem on firefox opening or sending her gmails. Also, I cannot access my settings. It started when I was at a hotel last Friday using their wireless connection. When I turned firefox on, which automatically goes to gmail, firefox would not open my gmail as it stated that this was not a secure site. I probable did something incorrectly and I got blocked out. All my other bookmarks work fine. I can access my gmail using other servers. Please help. Thank you.

how can i open my gmail at mozilla firefox? because i cant open it..

I cannot attach files in Gmail within Firefox. I can attach files in Gmail from Chrome and IE.

I know it has been mentioned elsewhere too ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999383 ), but I cannot reply to that message... so, here it is again, with full details of the testing we have performed so far....
ALL users or our organization are currently affected.
When you try to attached a doc, xls, pdf, etc. in Gmail the results are all the same in Firefox. You get a red bar with "attachment failed" and an option to cancel or retry.
We have tested with our Proxy On and Off. We have tested with no extensions loaded (I get the message with my 3 extensions on or off -- Adblock+, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere). Versions on which the issue has been seen include 25, 26, 28, 28.0.1 and 29.0.1 (the latest as of this post). Most users in our organization do not use extensions with Firefox.
Attachments link up just fine in IE 10 and 11, and Chrome (with Adblock, Ghostery, and HTTPS Everywhere turned on). This error is only seen in Firefox, with or without plug-ins.
Operating Systems used for testing were Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
The issue was first reported to us today, 5/13/14, but it is unknown if the issue has been around longer. However, Firefox is our organization's default browser due to countless web software vendor recommendations. We most likely would have heard before today if the issue has happened previously.
Any tips or suggestions would be welcome here.

Without trying any of the fixes, the issue seems to have gone away on its own. All users (of about 7 reporting in) can attach files within Gmail using Firefox as of 5/15. We did not try any of the 4 fixes listed above. On 5/13 and 5/14, users could not attach files to Gmail messages within Firefox.
However, on the day of the issue we did try all the mentioned fixes (except #4). All affected users had all history and cache wiped, updated to v29.0.1, and the latest Flash plug-in from Adobe.com. We have the browsers set to clear all history, temp files, cookies, etc. at exit to avoid any cached data issues. We tried with proxy on and off too. Attachments were in the 20K-35K range, so very small. They failed on 5/13 and 5/14 within Firefox, but attached fine in IE and Chrome on the same days.
So, not sure what the issue was, what caused, or why it went away... but we cannot reproduce today, as of 5/15.
Thanks for the tips. I'll bookmark them if the issue reappears.

I was recently able to attach files in gmail using Firefox, but now I get an unresponsive link, when I click "upload". It works fine on other browsers. I search the question database but perhaps I missed the fix. Any suggestions?

I am using windows 7 Home Premium, on an HP. I use and enjoy the Firefox browser. The only major extension that could cause clicking issues is possibly NoScript. But until recently I have had no problems with uploading attachments in Gmail through Firefox.
The issue:
I start Gmail. Logging in is fine. When I compose a new message (still no problem) I can't upload any attachment via the attachment link. I click the attach link and it is unresponsive. I use internet explorer and I get no issues. I've noticed this issue only since yesterday. Please help.
Thanks
R/S Kenneth

I also had this problem since yesterday (march, 13). I tried cleaning cache and cookies, restarting the browser and the pc, but nothing happened. With IE and Chrome the attachment worked fine.
I hoped that with the yesterday's 3.6.28 updade it would be fixed, but it didn't.
Then, I saw the reply to [http://support.mozilla.org/pt-BR/questions/922873 THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM] which was telling to use the refresh button on FIREFOX (not Gmail's refresh). I tried, and the problem was gone.
So, if anybody has the same issue, try hitting the refresh button on firefox :)
Thank you, junkcat!

I can't attach a file in Gmail using firefox, but its working in Safari and Chrome.

I can't attach a file in Gmail using Firefox, I can attach files when using Chrome and Safari, so it must be Firefox.
I've tried all the other suggestions for making things work, but nothing works so far, and it started yesterday afternoon
(Aug 6th, 2014)
Any suggestions would be usefule

Try allowing pop up windows
Open Menu
Options
Content (on the top)
Click Exceptions...
Type mail.google.com in address of website area
Click Allow
Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

Attaching a file to gmail in firefox is extremely slow

When using gmail through firefox when I click on Attach file and then select a file it takes a very long time for the file to actually get attached so that I can send the email.
Is this a problem with the Adobe plug-in? A firefox problem? Please help!

cor-el, thanks for responding. I'm not sure that is the issue. In working with my system since the post i I have encountered this same problem when I open a file using the Adobe Acrobat. I'm thinking this is a plug-in issue but not sure where to start to try to track it down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Gmail on Firefox - how to select all?

I am using Gmail on Firefox. On Gmail direct, there is a check box on top of search box results that allows you to select all, but there is no such check box on the Firefox version. There are only individual check boxes next to each message selection. How do I select all?

What type of device and what operating system are you running?
On my Windows 7 Firefox browser: I can log into gmail and I see the various tabs organizing my inbox (primary, social, promotions) which are under the search bar. In between them, there are three buttons: check all, refresh and more. Is there a similar check all button there?

I am trying to access my gmail on Firefox, but the browser is not alowing me to connect, but returns an invalid secirity certificate. The dialogue does not give you an option to bypass the blockage and proceed. So I cannnot access my g mail.

I can access my gmail on internet explorer, but firefox is giving the message as shown below. It ought to give an exception option, but it does not. So I cannot access gmail through firefox.

You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
application/pdf
Acrobat Portable Document Format
Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
(in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I open Gmail in Firefox, the secure (padlock) icon appears only for a few seconds; the connection then recycles and goes to the triangle alert icon.

When I open or refresh Gmail in Firefox, the secure padlock icon appears at first, but within a few seconds the connection then refreshes itself without me opening anything or moving the mouse. The secure icon is then replaced by the alert triangle, which displays a message when I hover over it saying "This website does not supply identity information." I have already changed the Images setting to Ask Before Displaying External Images, but it had no effect on this behavior. This same change happens on other secure websites, but not as consistently it does on Gmail.

If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and search for lines with [mixed] to see if that allows to identify the mixed content.

Attach file not working in gmail with firefox. Not problem with IE

Dragging and dropping into gmail worked (firefox) although duplicates were dropped as well. I just deleted those. No problems at all in IE attaching a file though.

Hello slv1982,
Your Firefox version is very old .Please upgrade it . Please follow the following procedures
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. 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 http://www.mozilla.org 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
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#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.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Make Gmail within Firefox default email method for desktop?

Say I right-click a file in Thunar and want to email it using either Send To or a Custom Action, how could I do this using gmail within Firefox? But moreso for any GUI app, so that it sees it as "default" mail handler or what have you. I currently have right-click > Send Link (in firefox) set up to compose a new gmail mail in a new tab, but for the actual desktop, would this be possible? I use a plain flux session.
Thanks for any help

At Mail > Preferences under the General tab, what is selected as the default email reader?
FYI - this is the Using iPhone > Mail, Contacts and Calendar discussions area.

I can't access direct links from Gmail in Firefox.

My grand kids downloaded a bunch of games. When they left I notices I can't go directly from a link in Gmail through Firefox. This has affected both computers. I did a system restore, to before they came. Still no difference. The links work in IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When my grand kids downloaded some free games

Hi there: Sounds frustrating! It looks like Firefox is no longer your default browser. This article + video -- [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] -- should help you fix it.
If that doesn't work there is another how-to -- [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]].
Hope this helps :)
