Hi everyone,

Firefox doesn't open accounts.google.com thus I can't check my emails and/or I can't use any Google Services.

I use Firefox 7.0.1. I almost tried everything on Mozilla Support pages for example http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Error%20loading%20web%20sites#w_the-problem-only-happens-with-certain-websites .

I tried with IE8 and it works.

I tried:

  • Clearing history
  • Clearing cache
  • Disabling extensions, plugins
  • Trying to open the page on safe mode
  • DNS prefetch stuff
  • Clearing cookies
  • The "tell websites I don't wanna be tracked" enabling/disabling

I really support any open source app especially Mozilla stuff, but sometimes it really gets problematic.

I'm sure you know that it's quite hard not to use any Google Service in one's daily life. So I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Without doing anything else, just a restart for the ADSL modem worked.

Thanks

Creating a new profile and trying to open gmail.com didn't help either.

I've uninstalled Firefox and the profile but it didn't work either.

It is due to change in google login link. The solution given at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/883652#answer-256726 works perfect.

Check and tell if its working.

mha007 thank you for your help, but I don't use Google Toolbar. I don't have that folder edmeister mentioned under extensions.

Before doing what you offered, I need to say that I'm not at home right now and I can login to Gmail (using another network). I'll tell you the results when I get back home.

Thanks again.
