Is Firefox version 3.6.3 causing Gmail problems?
11 May 2010 - DaveI hesitated before updating when version 3.6.3 of Firefox was available because the LogMeIn addin was not compatible. After a few days I figured since I didn’t use LogMeIn much I wouldn’t miss it.
After updating to Firefox version 3.6.3 I’ve experienced problems with Gmail and Google docs.
A little Google-Fu found lots of forum posts about folks having similar problems. Clearing the caches and cookies like they suggested did not fix the problem. Firefox safe mode and a new profile didn’t fix it either.
I saw a few folks had luck installing an older version. Normally I avoid rolling back updates. The Mozilla Team has been great at quickly fixing issues so that we can move ahead. But the problems with Gmail were too much so I re-installed the older version.
Following steps in the links below I downloaded version 3.5.9 and re-installed the older version over top of the new one. That appears to have fixed the problem.
