Firefox and Gmail Loading Page Icon

A few days ago, I noticed that when I looked at my gmail account, the icon indicating that the page is loading never stopped spinning, even when I clicked the “stop loading this page” icon. I wrote a bug report to Google, and then decided to do a little googling and see if perhaps it was a Firefox problem instead. (The problem may or may not have been related to my upgrade to Firefox 0.9.2 on September 3rd.)

I suspected I had a Javascript problem, and someone mentioned clearning the cache as solving a Javascript problem. I cleared both cache and cookies, and exited from Firefox completely. When I started Firefox again, the problem was fixed.

Although I think everyone who wants a gmail invite has one at this point, I have a few to give out. Send an email to en01 at stardel dot com and I will invite you.

  1. I too am having the same problem with Loading page icon. When i tried my gmail account to log in, it displays as “loading” and it keeps remaining like that. Would you please suggest for the remedial action for this porblem?
    thanks,

  2. Try in the IE brower:
    Tools/options/
    In the tag “normal” , find out the delete the cookies, temporay files etc. To clear all the cookies.
    I’ve got the same problem over the last few days. And it was fixed by clear the cookies as Elaine said. THX
