Check your security settings in firefox, make sure you have java enabled and so on.
Just for kicks you might want to think about not using gmail because of security issues. Google for that matter as well. Try www.scroogle.org for search purposes.

I tried connecting to www.gmail.com and it worked fine using firefox 1.0.5, there are java scripts on the opening page so make sure its enabled, I think active x to.

There are no active x things on the gmail page, just javascript and html.
If javascript is disbaled it will show you the page still in a simpler mode.


Not sure why you are getting the 404 errors tho.

ya javascript is enabled...still no luck. :( I think this has started to happen after i did Firefox update, how can i roll it back? Just to see if that might work.

It's working fine for me in Firefox, and I updated to 1.0.5 as well.

Have you installed any new extensions lately?

Try clearing cache and cookies and everything maybe. :unsure:

if all fails (IF EVERYTHING FAILS!) stick to IE.

Try deleting your profile. It's an extreme step but it wouldn't take too long to set everything up to your taste again.

lol i rather not use internet then browing net with IE.

Anyways I will first try what Rosco is saying, if didn't work out then will follow Rick Phlegm advice.

Are you running any other firewall or anti-virus or ad blocking software?

Are you running any other firewall or anti-virus or ad blocking software?That's probably the problem.

I had the same trouble of not being able to access GMail in any browser - as soon as I disabled my firewall (Kerio) it worked fine.

Not sure why a Kerio firewall would do that but it was definitely the root of my problem. It works fine with other firewalls.

Kerio blocks alot of things by default in simple mode, turn it to advanced mode and try again it should ask you if you want to allow the traffic.

My guess is any security related software is going to have problems with gmail because of googles security policies.

If your looking for a good firewall try outpost, its much simpler to add rules for traffic and application control.
