Firefox-Gmail problem - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ShaniFaye · 08-18-2006, 05:24 AM

I've had a problem for two days with firefox only....gmail works just fine in IE but I keep getting a timeout error when I try to log in with firefox (and this is only at work, at home it works fine)
this is what it says

The connection has timed out

The server at gmail.google.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

(Im running XP) I've had no other problems with any websites in firefox, everything is working like normal. I know some will say...well just use it in IE...and for the time being I am...but I'd really like it to be working in FF.

I've tried the gmail/google forums but no joy yet so I thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced this...I can get to every thing else to do with my Google *account* BUT my email

Have you done the usual basics? Clearing Browser History, Cookies, Cache. That worked for me with gmail last time I had a problem like yours.
