I had an embarrassing experience today, attempting to demonstrate that with gmail one can use the web interface when he must or use the pop/smtp interface or use both at the same time. The web interface would not work with mozilla-1.7.12-1.4.1.centos4. A quick check showed that firefox-1.0.7-1.4.1.centos4 has the same symptom -- that is, displays a page containing nothing but "Loading..." after user and password are entered. Konqueror works fine, as does mozilla-1.7.8-2 on an FC4 box I have.
I can find nothing on this list regarding this and will admit that since the common denominator appears to be the "1.4.1.centos4", I haven't checked mozilla bugzilla. Can someone confirm that my imagination hasn't run wild?

Trying with that same RPM version of firefox on my CentOS4 installation ...
I see that "Loading..." page for a few seconds, but then it continues into the regular interface as usual.

I have had this problem before of "Loading..." never going away, but it seems like it's an intermittent problem on Gmail's side and not a permanent problem with the browser.

I have seen this also. Testing it in Opera or Konqueror would tell us if its a Mozilla bug or not.

It works fine with Konqueror 3.3.1-5.8RedHat; works fine with mozilla 1.7.8 that's part of FC4. It has been quite a while since I've had Opera. It's interesting that Konqueror is not mentioned, supported or not , at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6557&topic=1524 yet works great.

Google problem. I've had it with all kinds of browsers.
Fix:
This way you won't go through proxies/caches which cause the problem.
