wtf is wrong with googles gmail client?
Okay, this is beginning to drive me insane. Every single time I try to use google's online gmail client in firefox on any computer (regardless of OS), I eventually end up with this message:

Quote:
The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
Only way to make it go away is to clear all history (which is a pain in the ass because then I have to log into everything again...)

Anyone find a way around this? And no, using something like outlook or a different browser is not a solution.

It's not very organized though... they should really work on making the website more user friendly.

Edit: On a similar note, Chrome doesn't have grease monkey. Although you can download scripts as extensions, not all of them work correctly. So you have use Black Canvas instead. https://chrome.google.com/extensions...n pdfpdobpnkk
