Problems getting into GMail
I'm getting this error message when I try to log into GMail. I'm being forced to use IE to get into GMail.
What's the problem and how do I fix it?

I think we should start by taking Google at its word about the problem...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
See: How to clear the Firefox cache
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
- right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar, then the ">" button, then More Information, and finally the "View Cookies" button
In the dialog that opens, google.com should be filled in at the top automatically, and you can remove the site's cookies individually using the list below.
Then try reloading the page and logging into Google again. Any improvement?
