Firefox brought in my bookmarks from my Google Chrome browser, but I'm unable to open my Gmail. This is the error message:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Cookies are sent by web sites. You can tell Firefox to not allow sites that you choose by following these directions.

Type about:preferences#privacy <enter> in the address bar.

The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Under History, turn on Accept cookies from sites and Accept third-party cookies. At the far right, press the Exceptions button. Place those web sites you don't want here.
