I have just downloaded Firefox 14.0.1 on my pc which uses Windows 7, with the default settings. Everytime I try to use Google to signin into my account or goto Gmail, I get the following error message: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

This problem doesn't happen in IE9. My web accounts appear to be fine except Linkedin which doesn't recognise my user ID and password, even though it's correctly entered.
