Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can also update to Firefox 18 via Help > About

Thanks for your suggestions cor-el.

It looks like the plug-in Right inbox 1.0 is to blame as when it's disabled, Google services work fine in Firefox. However, I want them to work with the plug-in as it's useful... it's also up to date.

Theme is set to default as advised.

Works in Google Chrome so any ideas about what can be done now, please?
