Gmail is not working
Gmail is not working. I enter the link https://mail.google.com in the address bar and nothing opens (white screen). This has not worked for about 2 months (maybe even more).
Chosen solution
I don't know how, but after more than two months of not being able to open Gmail in Firefox, it just started working by itself.
Thanks to everyone for the advice and willingness to help solve the problem.

I don't have any extensions (add-ons) in my browser that interfere with the correct operation of Firefox
Hi

Did you try Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104
Did you clear your browser cache? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
You can check the connection settings and check for possible issues with a Proxy or VPN service.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a Proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

I don't need a proxy to use the browser, so in the settings I have a check mark in the "No proxy" item.

What happens to saved passwords, website settings and other information I have saved in my browser if I enable this feature?
And, yes, I clear the cache in the browser every day.

I tried opening Gmail in "Troubleshoot" mode, but it still didn't help to open my mailbox (white screen).
In the "Troubleshoot" section there was a button "Clear Firefox". I didn't click this button, because I think I will lose all my browser settings, as well as my saved passwords. If this is not the case, please let me know.
If Windows Pro version, try testing in Windows Sandbox (VM) to see if you have the same issue. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/
