Gmail Loading Problem in Firefox 3

Couple of months ago,  I have posted about a problem which I was having with Gmail and yet I’m about to post a new one. 

I’m sure everyone has noticed that progress bar after you enter your account information in login form.  I don’t know how long it has been since gmail put that loading bar. This is one of the problems I’m having with Gmail in Firefox. 

Here is the screen shot. It stops at that very end of the bar and it doesn’t go trough. At first, I waited bit more for it to load but didn’t go through. I tried clearing cookies, browsing history and other private data but it didn’t work. Only thing that works is that you have to hit “refresh” button.  Either it stops at the end like that screenshot or it never starts loading. 

I’m going to try to reinstall Firefox 3 if this keeps being a problem. I’ll also update this post if anything works. Gmail works fine with other browsers. I don’t get this problem in Safari, Opera, IE7.

    I’m having the same problem. I tried gmail on another browser and it works.
    I also tried google calendar in firefox and it works, as does google home page, and igoogle (most of the time).

    Not sure if this will work for everyone but it did for me. I was having the same problem (logging into gmail with firefox on a PC). This is from the Google help centre:

    In Firefox for PCs: (https://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=troubleshooter.cs&problem=bugflow&selected=bugflow_signin00_signin14_signin15#step2_a)

    1. Log out of your Google Mail account and close all other open browser windows.
    2. Click the Tools menu at the top of your browser and select Clear Private Data…
    3. Select the Cookies and Cache checkboxes.
    4. Click Clear Private Data Now.

    I am also having the same problem. When it is loading, I hit the ‘Refresh’ button in firefox. That loads gmail properly.

    Had the same problem here. Started about a week ago. Progress bar appears but never finishes. I have the NoScript add-on installed. Once I marked google.com as Trusted in NoScript, it worked fine.

    I had this and then I read this thread, and noticed that i’d installed a firefox thing that lets you disable java and javascript with a single click! durr!
