[ale] OT: Firefox just keeps reloading GMail

[Lightner, Jeff]

Cynicism makes me wonder if there isn't a possibility that Google is making it difficult for other browsers to handle Gmail specifically so they'll go the Chrome route?

As for me I don't use gmail and think Firefox is great.

On the topic of Firefox, has anyone dropped it for Chrome? I love Firefox except for the fact that it is DOG SLOW. Sure, I have some add-ons installed, but I'm starting to think that if I have to speed up Firefox by removing the add-ons, I might as well drop it and go with Chrome since it's supposed to be so fast. Heck, even IE would be an option at that point since it's faster on Windows.

Check that NoScript allows yimg.com and ytimg.com
