Gmail won't open in Firefox. I get this error:

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.

Steps I've taken: 1) Reset Firefox preferences 2) Deleted prefs.js

Help!

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
