Hello Everyone, I am using Google homepage and search engine with firefox 50.1.0, and whenever i sign into my gmail account the inbox messages have typing over the top of them. I do not have the issue with IE11, so am wondering if there is anything in the settings that may be causing this.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu, choose History, and then "Clear Recent History...".
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the "Clear Now" button.

Further information can be found in the Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox article.

Thank you for replying. I have done all of the above, then signed into gmail again, and it stays the same, with typing over the inbox messages.
