I have Win XP and was running FF 7. Yesterday my igoogle homepage quit loading all gadgets, but it works fine on Chrome and IE. I have checked the forums and tried all the suggestions concerning add-on's and extensions. Today I downloaded FF 8, but it didn't change my problem. In fact it didn't change anything. FF still looks exactly like it did with FF 7. I've had this problem before and was able to resolve it by removing all gadgets on igoogle and then adding them again, but that doesn't work this time. HELP!

Thanks cor-el. Clearing the cache did the trick.
