for the last 48 hours Gmail in Firefox has not displayed the text of emails when I click on a particular email on the inbox list. Chrome displays normally, in the new Gmail format. I can get the text by clicking on the print button but this is a nuisance. Google has of course been changing the mail page and I suppose there is some interaction.
