I am having trouble logging into to my igoogle/googlemail account. every time click onto the sign in link in firefox I get the error.
Code:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to www.google.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I can view all other websites fine and I can view my account using Konqueror (on my PC) or though the gmail App (on my phone) so I think this is an issue with FF.
My system:
Ubuntu 10.04
Firefox 3.6.11
connected to internet via ZTE MF112 Dongle
I have had this issue for a couple of weeks and it did not start until I got my 3 Dongle (before that I was connected via wifi on standard home ADSL).
I have tried turning off add ons (Greece monkey, flash block, no script and adblock+) as well as clearing my cache (before clearing my cache I could access iGoogle but not googlemail).
Since the problem only occurs in FF and not in Konq, and as it only happened since I have started using mobile Internet I think the problem lies with these to not playing nice. Some research has suggested that this might be due to a very slow upload speed.
I have also found I get the same error when logging into FB.
