OK so since I wasn't able to find a solution here and wanted to share the solution I found since so many folks seem to be having this issue despite so many of them being 'resolved' and 'archived' with non satisfactory solution, let me share what I found. This applies for those who have already tried these steps:
- If you can access the site that gives you this error in Firefox but no issues in another browser; - If you've cleared the cache and you still get the error; - If you've deleted all cookies and still get the error; - If you've tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode to temporarily disable your addons and still get the error,
Try this: - in the address bar type "about:serviceworkers"; a whole list of these hidden code/cookie snippets should appear in the page. I was shocked by the shear amount of them and their privacy implications >:-( - click "unregister" to remove them one by one - restart your browser.
After restarting, the problem disappeared. In my case, a corrupted 'serviceworker' was preventing me from accessing gmail.
Upon further reading, one learns that it's some kind of cache and that it helps accessing websites. Also, that it gets rebuilt as required. Finally, that this 'feature' can be disabled by turning the about:config value dom.serviceWorkers.enabled to false.
Hope this helps someone, and sorry if the formatting looks awful, I have no idea why my bulleted list doesn't show as it does in the editor.

I installed Sync on my computer (Windows Vista) and my laptop (Windows 7 Starter) this last week. I first noticed sync working on my laptop as the theme and bookmarks from my computer had imported to the laptop. Now a few days later I've to my computer and the changes I made to the laptop Firefox have not been applied. I tried Syncing but I get an error message. I made sure the laptop was active and not in sleep mode. Also, does Syncing not affect extensions/addons?

I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate and the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth doesn't seem to work (have set it to 150). I've restarted the browser since setting this configuration, but that hasn't had any effect.
Has this setting been deprecated/removed in Firefox 4.0?
Firefox was started with command: firefox.exe -no-remote -P FF-4.0-B2

For the past few days I have had an 'Important update' message from Mozilla popping up on my PC. When I finally actioned it today, it installed an older version of Firefox (3.0.19) than that already on my PC!!! The final part of the install opened Firefox on a 'security warning' page instructing me that I was now using an outdated version and to install v3.6.8 instead. I verified by using a different route to the official Mozilla site that 3.6.8 was indeed the latest version and I'm almost certain that I had been using it before the 'update' to v3.0.19, and have now reinstalled it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a security breach or what?

Two sites, one is my bank web access site. I enter my bank card number and password and hit DONE and nothing happens as though the button has been disabled. This also happened on this computer with ABE BOOKS and it wouldn't allow me to complete a transaction. I can access my bank through Firefox on a different computer. I've tried upgrading Firefox and several reboots and accessing the bank site through a different route by googling it rather than my bookmark.
