For those who have had a Firefox wont let GMail ope due to cookie and redirection problem. I have just adjusted the Accept third party from the site visited instead of Always or never. After that I closed and restarted my browser and Voila! I now have GMail. That is all. Thank you again!

Is the setting that works for you Visited or Always? I know Always works, but I'm not sure whether you are saying that Visited works, too.

JScher, 

   It only work when you select visited.  I tried Always and Never-to no avail.  That is what I was inferring.  I am so glad now that I can use my GMail on Firefox.  It works faster than on Chrome oddly enough.  You learn new things everyday!  Take Care!

I'm usually block third-party cookies (network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1) and GMail still works without problems, so that might have been coincidence and there were other issues that got fixed because of data expiring or otherwise refreshing cookies and cached files. Note that you need to clear existing cookies after changing cookie lifetime settings and other permissions.
