Hi
Windows 7 64-bit
Firefox 4.0.1
Latest Adblock Plus
Gmail
I've just got a new samsung laptop and have set it up with the latest firefox (4.0.1). In the last day or so I am unable to access Gmail. The site just refuses to load and i get an error message:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to mail.google.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I'm running Adblock Plus but I was able to access the gmail site and log-in no problem until the last couple of days.
Web access is set up correctly as i can get to any other site - just not gmail.
I'm thinking the firewall might be blocking gmail for some reason but i can't see how to check or change the settings.
Any help would be very much appreciated...
EDIT: I've just tried accessing gmail with IE8 and it worked fine, so it's definitely something with firefox... Can't understand it as I had it working perfectly before the weekend? Have I added gmail to some sort of "blocked site" list?
