Gmail will not open in firefox. I don't get any message. It keeps trying to open and then never does. I have to go to either Internet explorer or Google Chrome to open my emails.

Hi, try deleting ALL references to Gmail. To do that, open the 3-bar menu > Library > History, then click the Show All History link at the bottom of the list to open the History-library window. Search for Gmail in the Search History field in the top-right corner. Now in the search results, right-click it and select Forget About This Site. (Browsing and download history, cookies, cache, active logins, passwords, saved form data, exceptions for cookies, images and pop-ups for that site will be removed). Give it a minute to complete the deletion, then try the site (not from an old bookmark) again. More - Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox

If that doesn't work, open the 3-bar menu > Options > Privacy & Security, then under Content Blocking, remove all blocks. Now reload the site. If that works, should you wish, you can make an exception for the site.

Does the above link work? (You may have to wait a bit, as it doesn't open 'lightning fast'.)
