    Firefox 2.0.0.13 not working with gmail

    Has anyone else had this problem? For the last couple of weeks I have been virtually unable to load gmail using firefox 2.0.0.13. The Google website works fine, I can use the gmail login page, but after logging in, my email page will not load. I see the "Loading..." notice at the top left of the page, but it seems like the page keeps refreshing every two or three seconds (as opposed to just getting stuck). It will continually refresh like this until I stop the page. I reload the page, re-log in, nothing seems to help.

    gmail is working fine with IE, so I can get to my email, I just don't want to have to use two browsers all the time.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried uninstalling FireFox and reinstalling?
    My google mail works fine and I use it all the time, I can even open it up through the mail button in Google talk (with firefox set to default browser).

    I FF 2.0.0.13 on my notebook and my wife's, and it does the same thing on both. Vista Ultimate on mine, Premium on hers. Add-ons that I can remember are FasterFox, AdBlock with Filterset G, and the download manager that I can't recall the name of at the moment.

    FF3.0b3 works fine on my XP SP2 desktop, maybe I just need to go to FF3.0b5 on the lappys. But my inquisitive nature would rather actually know the answer to this problem, than skate around it...

    I never had a problem checking gmail with 2.0.0.13. I recently switched to FF3 Beta 5, though. :D
