Does this URL get you to Gmail?
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?

I have alike problem: I can access my account on Google+ or YouTube but when I try access GMail or Calendar I see error message about invalid redirect to https://accounts.google.com/CookieMismatch ("server redirects to this address in such way that request will never complete") with comment that this error usually occures when cookies are disabled. But I see that cookies are enabled in FireFox Setup. What's wrong?

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"

No, it goes right to that error page, thanks for the note, though.

I'm getting this error of my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Tried clearing cookies etc and it doesn't work.

Going to https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin? works but even after logging in, if I click on "gmail" at the top, it gives the same error.

Very frustrating. This works fine on Chrome and I'm trying to switch over from Chrome to firefox.

Any help appreciated.
