Gmail Refuses to Work in Firefox

To use Gmail, I have to run it in Safari. It simply grinds to a halt in Firefox 3.0.5 with persistent loading messages and menus that refuse to work.

It won't even load in the latest build of WebKit 3.2.1, though I can understand that.

Could there be any issues with my installed extensions listed below?

I would love to get back to running a single browser, if possible.

Browser details...

Update 1: It may be an Extension issue.

I got my arse into gear and switched off all the extensions in alphabetical order.
It seems as though Cards Games doesn't like Gmail, well so far.!!

Update 2: Fuck it. Gmail still stuffs up. I've decided to totally delete Firefox, profiles, extensions etc etc and downloaded a new version and will see what happens.

Update 3: Well, I AppZapped Firefox 3 and started from scratch.

Everything works like a charm, including Gmail.

FF3? Sorry, but that might be the problem.

I totally dig on Firefox, but - to me - FF3 is still a "I wish I was good enough to be a beta" package. That's why I upgraded my forced upgrade back to FF2 :)

:) Maybe Edb
However the better half's Mac driven Firefox 3 and Gmail v.2 beta love each other.

The original Gmail v.1 beta works just fine.

Re Firefox 3. I've had no problems at all with it, unlike yourself except for this pain in the arse Gmail issue.!!!

When I get time I'll go through every extension and see if there's a clash of the JavaScript titans.
