I get a "Bad Request Error 400" when trying to get to Gmail. I am running Firefox 3.6.16. No problems getting to other pages or getting to Gmail through IE (ick).

I am running XP and Firefox 3.6.16. Problem started in middle of day, nothing else that I can point to that might have triggered it. Have restarted and that doesn't work either. Doesn't seem to have affected other sites.

Bei mir war in den Einstellungen für die Internetverbindung die Option "Proxy-Einstellungen des Systems" gesetzt. Nach dem Setzen der Option "Kein Proxy verwenden" konnte ich wieder alle Internetseiten erreichen (Wahrscheinlich wurde die Änderung durch ein Programm verursacht, dass die Internetverbindung optimieren sollte).
