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.
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.
