Gmail & Firefox


Hello everyone. I looked around and tried my any things. I havent found a solution to my problem. Maybe someone could help me out .

Stat's below.

Kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.
Firefox 1.5.0.1-9
Firefox 1.5.0.6-2.fc5

I tried to log into my gmail and I can't any more. I get this error message.

Unexpected response for server
Firewfox doesn't know how to communicate with the server

* check to make sure your system has the Person Security Manager installed
* This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

I do not know how to fix this, but can suggest you one thing. If you use KDE, then try using Konqueror. Possibly, there wouldn't be more troubles.

Are you able to access other websites, other than GMAIL, on Mozilla Firefox?

thank you for your help. Well I'm using Gnome right now... I kind of figured out how to get around it.

I brought up a terminal and type in mozilla... It brought up the mozilla browser... For now that's what I'm going to use until they fix the problem with Firefox.

Thank you, for helping me out.

It's a good idea to contact the Fedora developers, so they know about the problem. I'm assuming it's something to do with their patches for Firefox or something, because the vanilla (i.e. unmodified) version of Firefox works fine with Gmail. I know, because I'm using it.

Have you tried this below: Another thread elsewhere suggested it worked for some people:

I just solved my case by creating a new profile. (go to your firefox directory and run 'firefox -profilemanager' instead of 'firefox')
I checked firefox configuration by entering about:config in the adress bar, which taught me there was nothing left of the default settings. That's why I bothered creating a new profile. More info on profiles can be found on the firefox support page.

So, I followed the suggestion of creating another profile. I did that, then did a grep -r nss ~/.mozilla/firefox and saw a ton of references in the file compreg.dat for both user profiles. Made a backup of .mozilla/firefox/blahblah.default/compreg.dat and then copied the one from my newly created profile over the default and viola!! I was back on my.egay in no time.
