I had been having problems with gmail via firefox on Mac OSX. This all started at the exact same time I read that gmail was beginning some renovation or some other work.<br><br>2 or 3 days ago, It stopped for me and I have been able to log in and recieve secure email from gmail.

Finally found this post that fixed it:

Since I updated to firefox <a href="http://2.0.0.9" target="_blank">2.0.0.9</a> - gmail is pretty much unusable.<br>Firefox completely hangs everytime I try to read some emails. I may get<br>thru one or two, but then it hangs.
<br><br>This is happening on three systems. One
with RedHat Enterprise 4, one<br>with Debian testing, and one with Debian stable. All with firefox<br>installed from <a href="http://mozilla.org" target="_blank">mozilla.org</a> - not a packaged version from Debian or<br>
redhat. All three are independent systems, no shared files.<br><br>Anybody else having trouble? Other web sites are working fine, it's<br>just gmail that causes the problem.<br><br>-- <br><br> E Frank Ball
