Firefox: Yahoo/Gmail logging in problem?

krish · 04-03-2009, 10:29 AM

For the last month I've been unable to log into Yahoo Mail on Firefox
- after entering details it just returns to the log in page

Now from today the same thing is happening with Gmail (Googlemail)

Both work fine with IE which I hate using.

I expect this is only a problem with me ... any advice on how to rectify this problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Krish

Use IETab to embed internet explorer within firefox?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

That's what I used to do when I had firefox problems.

Have you tried clearing cache and cookies etc?
(Ctrl+Shift+Del)

I had a similar problem once and it was a cache problem, googling it turned up with the clearing cache which i'd already done, but I saw posts from people saying they had to repeat the clear a few times before it worked... did it a 2nd time and it cleared for me.

If it hasnt worked, have you tried using https:// instead of http://

If that fails then im out of ideas
