hi, in this case the first recommendation would be to clear the cache & cookies from google.com and reload the page.

There are other things that need attention.

The System Details list shows that you have an outdated Flash plugin, current is 32.0.0.207 (32.0 r0;2019/06/11).

  • Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
  • Shockwave Flash 29.0 r0

You can find the location of a plugin on the about:plugins page and in the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can download the latest NPAPI Flash plugin for Firefox on this page.

Make sure to remove checkmarks for including unwanted additional software.


Do you get any error messages when you access gmail? Can you login or are you returned to the login page?
