I have a mac, and I was using google maps. I was trying to find the views of the actual buildings on the maps, and clicked on the 3D option in the lower left corner. That caused an immediate crash of firefox and has done so everytime I try to open google maps. The window isn't open long enough for me to try and unclick that option. Please tell me how to get my google maps back! thanks

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I couldn't tell which of the many cookies was the offender, so I had to clear them all...which I know is going to mean I lost some convenience, but it was worth it. For future reference, is there a way to know which cookie is causing the problem?

Try to clear the Google cookies.

You're welcome.

Probably not. You can look at the cookies and their content to see if one looks like it may contain data for the Google maps. If you know which domain is used (check the location bar) then you can only look at cookies from that domain.
