Google Inbox won't load any longer, possibly after update to V45.

Inbox will no longer load. It loads fine in Chrome. The page gets stuck in a loop of refreshing and a small window pops up claiming the server isn't available. Not sure if this was the case prior to updating to V45 of Firefox. I get the same results in Firefox safe mode.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.

Still a no go.

It's definitely the update to V45 that's causing it. On my alternate computer I tried loading Google Inbox prior to updating Firefox and it loaded fine. I then updated Firefox to V45 and now Inbox won't load.

You did try Firefox Safe Mode, Yes? I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

Install an older version of Firefox {web link}

Firefox safe mode was one of the first things I tried. I didn't notice anything else that was broken after updating, but it definitely started with Google Inbox after applying the update to V45.

Just found out on Inbox forums that setting Inbox to accept third party cookies in Firefox solves the problem. I tried adding Inbox as an exception and now Inbox loads properly.

The bug has been fixed in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257861

Probably in the next routine update.
