Mozilla and Gmail

I can't access my gmail account using Firefox. It tells me connection was refused when attempting to contact google.com. ??? I have Windows 98, IE 6 SP1, Mozilla Firefox and Norton Internet Security. I think it might be the Norton firewall but I've done everything I can think of to do. I can get into my gmail using IE but I'd rather not if I didn't have to. Any help would be appreciated. Modo

Are you running the Greasemonkey extension by any chance?

Try deleting all cookies relating to GMAIL or GOOGLE.

Um if it was just Saturday, then I know google had issues for most of the day.
Otherwise, no ideas from me.

I'll take that as <em>no</em>. In this case I recommend MikeSty's solution!
The Greasemonkey extension embeds javascript into pages to do various interesting things. One of the scripts isn't playing nice with Gmail right now, and locks people out in a few cases.

I know gmail was down a good part of the day saturday and I had a hard time getting firefox to give me the error message, it just timed out. When I attempted using IE just as a test, I finally saw the error message that there were problems with the gmail server.

I use firefox exclusivley and never have a problem with gmail.

Thanks TFP'rs: When I disable Norton Internet Security I can use G-Mail with Firefox. Still haven't figured out why yet. I don't keep any cookies, temporary internet files, history, download history etc.

How do you sign up for an account? I went to gmail.google.com and it says that it's still in beta and there's only a limited test.

Same here - I'll get the occasional timeout, but a refresh will (usually) load the page. I've installed FireTune - could that be at the root of the problem?

I'm having the same problem. "Connection was refused when attempting to contact www.google.com" or connection was refused when contacting whoever... I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it didn't help?

P.S. I can't refresh it because the "Alert" locks the page until I click OK. Then I'm still at the page I was at.

Seems I can't get into any secure site with Firefox. Connection refused alert.

Just a guess, but maybe somewhere in Norton properties there is an option to list what protocols you are allowed to connect on. Make sure it says both "http" and https"? Sorry I cannot help further.

glad to see I am not the only one having issues with sites connecting while using FF. That is odd indeed, but as stated above usually a refresh and I am right in the house.

winder if it coule be some sort of extension that has been installed, as I have found and installed quite an enjoyable bunch of these little buggers.

I stopped the connection errors by doing this:

accessibility.typeheadfind.timeout

changed it to 30000

I haven't gotten any more connection errors as of yet.

That doesn't make any sense. Type-ahead-find just refers to the 'find as you type' feature, and setting the timeout just changes how long before it decides you are done with FAYT before it closes itself. And, if anyone wants to try it themselves, the preference group is actually typeaheadfind , not typeheadfind.

Norton Internet Security does some weird things, and in some cases makes websites not work. My mother visists a cairn-terrier forum regularly and will only work by disabling Norton Internet Security.

Question, where did you change this setting at?

In your URL bar type
Code:
about:config
. Then in the filter box type "typeaheadfind". Double click the appropriate entry to change the value.
