Something strange has been happening for me lately
I have been having some issues with my Gmail in Firefox, and in Firefox only, after the last security update. And as most of you know I am a HUGE fan of Gmail with Firefox.
What was happening is that my Gmail response was slow, Chat would disappear, and ‘respond’ and sometimes even ‘compose’ wouldn’t work making my productivity slow and frustration speed up.
This was only in Gmail not in iGoogle. And only in Firefox, all worked in IE and Opera.
So after doing loads of searching I found the fix:
It appears to have something to do with the additional security settings from the last Firefox update. And also may be related to the ‘Better Privacy’ add-on I use too.
To resolve the problem you can do the following
Open up a Firefox browser window and type in:
about:config
In the address bar.
Then click that you’ll be careful.
Then type in:
dom.storage.enabled
into the Filter search window
Double-click on the value to toggle from ‘false’ to true. [You can also right-click and choose ‘Toggle’]
Once the value is set to ‘true’ close any Firefox browser windows.
Restart Firefox and your problems should be gone!
Yay! Just thought I’d pass this gem along.
