When I try to open my gmail account it says it cannot open. It say: "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.
       This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
   cookies."

I have tried the suggested things, such as going to the "tools" and opening "privacy" and clicking on "use custom settings,etc. but it did not help. It worked yesterday, so I don't know why it is suddenly not working. I don't have this problem with chrome so I assume it is a firefox issue. Can anyone help? Thank you

  • Restart Firefox

Check and tell if its working.

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite 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.
