Help! Links no longer work in GMail?!

xoxota999 · 02-24-2008, 12:28 PM

It's been a while now, since the last update I think, that I can no longer click on Links in GMail. When I do, I get a "Loading..." in Firefox, and nothing happens. If I right-click the link and select "Open in New Tab" everything works fine. What's the deal? Anyone else have this problem?

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12, with no funky GreaseMonkey scripts or anything...

By "Links", I mean regular web links within an email. The rest of GMail works just fine...

Try deleting your cookies. Tools > Clear Private Data. Try IE if no avail.

Tried the cookies. No dice. IE appears to want to open all links in a new window for some reason.

Seriously? Switch to IE? I'd rather switch to YahooMail...

No no, just try. Test if you like. If it works fine in IE then its not Gmail with the problem, it's the browser. There are many plugins for FF, disable/uninstall them all, then try again. If it works, enable the plugins one-by-one until it doesnt, the last plugin you had enabled should be the conflicting one. They call this the process of elimination

Another thing you could try is a different computer all together.

Sometimes that kind of problems will occur especially if you are using only a beta version.
