Gmail Not Working in Firefox

So out of the blue, Gmail stopped working in Firefox today. I can do everything except open emails. It just says Loading... but never does. Nothing seems to have updated recently. Anyone else having problems?

Firefox 3.0.11
Better Gmail 1.1.3 Add-on

madhyena agrees: Change browser. If that doesn't work--replace the user.

Can you click the link to load the page in HTML? I have 2 gmail accounts, my normal one I have never had any problems with, my other one, always gets stuck at that loading bar, I always have to view it using the HTML option, it sucks.

I have had this issue as well lately, but it doesn't happen all the time..it just seems to be random. Viewing it in HTML works fine when it get stuck at the loading bar, but usually if it gives me trouble in the morning it's working during the day/evening. It is quite annoying

Strange, as I dont have any loading problems at all opening Gmail with FF.

I have several FF add-ons but I dont have any add-ons for Gmail, so dont know if that makes a difference.

How does one get two separate gmail accounts to work at the same time? Whenever I open up a second one, it kills/locks out the first one.

Multiple browser types? Or maybe he knows something we don't.

Yeah how do you get 2 seperate gmail accounts open at 1 time Sandman?

I have tried but after opening the second it just resets the first when I click refresh.

Maybe he's from the FUTURE and he has access to skynet...

Or he has two internet connections going at the same time and a separate browser for each.

Or he could have 2 tabs for the same account open. I've heard they've been testing using g-mail with my work's email server, however a HUGE compliant people have is that you can only have 1 message open at a time (we currently use lotus notes, and most people have a minimum of 4 messages open at a time)

Try with POP server (it will most likely work ok) and wait day or two.

Disabling the Better Gmail add-on resolves the issue. Why would this just quit working? The add-on hasn't updated? Perhaps Gmail has updated something and a new version of the add-on is required.
