Regular Firefox is not supporting gmail; Private Firefox is supporting it. Windows 10 is trying to install and I'm waiting for help aborting it (I'm on W7).

It took several minutes for gmail to load, after several minutes with no activity monitored in lower left at all. Then, It was taking several minutes to open an email. In private mode, no delay at all, but I am hindered in my research in private mode, so I need Gmail to work in regular Firefox. Thank you!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
