I'm suddenly getting a blank, white screen when attempting to open GMAIL What got broken and how do I fix it?

I verified that the exact same link works fine in EDGE, so this is some kind of recent change specific to FIREFOX.

Hi,

Sorry to hear that. Here are some standard troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue:

  1. Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield Fx89ShieldIcon icon in the left part of the address bar.
    • If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
  2. If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
  3. If it does not help, try clearing cookies and data for Gmail (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
  4. If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
  5. If nothing from the above helps, try creating a new Firefox profile and check if the issue persists there. If it doesn't, you can start copying files from your old profile to the new one to identify which one causes the issue. See this article on what files to copy.

Does any of the above help? Looking forward to your update on how it goes!

Got to number 4; then attempted something different: Tried just gmail.com (without parameters) and that worked. I think I'm actually back where I was: (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox) and all is still working. No idea what was wonky, but now working again. Thank you for your suggestions...
