Does anyone know if theres a work around so I can check my emails on gmail via firefox?

I have to use a different brower just to open my emails at the moment. It's been like this for a while but I only want to use firefox for everything.

    Gmail should work fine in Firefox.

    Try clearing the cache in Firefox, and maybe also stored passwords. Then load up the mail.google.com page again and login.

    Gmail has worked fine for me using Firefox. Originally on a PC using Windows XP and now on a laptop using Windows 7.

    No problems with Gmail in FF...
    Just clear your Cache, Cookies and History.....That should fix your problem.

    So tell us how it doesn't work. Error message, post a screen grab?
    We don't have enough to go on to help.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Back up all your bookmarks and stuff, do a full uninstall removing EVERYTHING in the profiles folder.

    Download the latest version install and restore your bookmarks (Last Pass and XMarks save loads of time)

    For some reason FF gets its knickers in a twist when updating every so often. Did it to me on the V28 install.
