Earlier today all my igoogle gadgets were appearing on Firefox. However this afternoon they are missing. Chrome and IE still display the gadgets. I have tried several fixes (disabling suggested add-ons, extensions, and plug-ins) but problem persists.

I have just clicked "I have this problem too". I tried "Clear the Cache".

In my case, my personal igoogle homepage never loads. So I have to sign in whenever I run Google, but not without having also to exit from Google's offer to help me make a homepage.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you on is stored in a cookie.

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
