Since updating to version 45 I can no longer access Gmail , although it is available on my other devices- why?

more options

Everything else seems O.K. - I can carry out Google searches etc. - and it's not a matter of broadband connection - my other devices still give full Gmail access - but Gmail will not even load from my Favourites, or by direct entry. This seems only to have started when I upgraded to the latest Firefox version 45.0.1
